Pregnant Students' Rights: Mandatory Information and Accommodations at Colleges.

This law requires US higher education institutions to actively inform students about the rights, accommodations, and resources available to pregnant students. The goal is to ensure that students choosing to carry a pregnancy to term are fully aware of academic adjustments, on-campus support, and community resources. This information must be disseminated regularly via email and published prominently to facilitate access to aid and complaint procedures regarding discrimination.
Key points
Colleges must annually email all students a list of resources (on-campus and community support) and available academic accommodations for pregnant students.
Institutions must provide clear instructions on how to file discrimination complaints (under Title IX) with the school or the Department of Education related to pregnancy status.
Required information must be easily accessible in student handbooks, orientations, health centers, and on the institution's public website.
