Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Absences due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions must be excused and cannot be treated or penalized like unexcused absences. Your professors must provide you a leave of absence for as long as it is deemed necessary by your medical doctor. At the end of your leave, you must be reinstated to the status you held prior to your leave. After returning from an excused absence, your professors must allow a reasonable amount of time to make up missed assignments and tests. The makeup assignments and tests must be reasonably equivalent to those missed, but need not be identical. If a professor provides specific 鈥減oints鈥� or other advantages to students based on class attendance, you must be given the opportunity to earn back the credit from classes missed due to pregnancy.

Under Title IX, pregnant students are entitled to the same benefits offered to students with other medical conditions, illness or injury.

While your professor may have a strict attendance policy, the university is bound by federal civil rights law. Title IX requires the university ensure that all faculty and staff comply with the law and do not discriminate against pregnant and parenting students. An individual professor鈥檚 policy is not OK if it breaks the law. Please email TitleIX@csub.edu if you have questions about your professor鈥檚 attendance policy as it relates to your pregnancy or parental responsibilities.

Title IX requires the university provide pregnant students with any special services we provide to students with any other type of temporary disabilities.

No. Your program must allow you to continue participating in off-campus programs. If your program provides opportunities to 鈥渨ork in the field,鈥� you cannot be excluded based on your pregnancy. Your professor cannot require a doctor鈥檚 note for continued participation unless your professor requires one for all students who have a medical condition that requires treatment by a doctor. If they do ask for a note, they cannot second-guess your doctor鈥檚 decision.

Title IX requires the university prevent and address sex-based harassment, including harassment based on pregnancy. If you experience this sort of treatment, you should seek help immediately. The law prohibits anyone from retaliating against you for filing a complaint or raising a concern. See the .

Please note that the CSU and 裸聊直播 prohibit discrimination, harassment, and retaliation against students, including discrimination/harassment based on sex (which includes pregnancy, childbirth or associated medical conditions).  Interim CSU Nondiscrimination Policy outlines your rights.
