Resources for Students During Pregnancy, Childbirth, or a Related Condition

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor continues to provide access to its education programs to students who are affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related condition, including lactation. Any student may meet with UMHB’s Title IX Coordinator to learn how the university supports and encourages students in continuing their education. Depending on the circumstances, the university may be able to help students with excused absences, a leave of absence from school, or other reasonable alterations to academic programs in order to help students remain in school in spite of limitations which may be recommended by a health care provider.

Students who anticipate a need for assistance with their academic program because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related condition are encouraged to contact the Title IX Coordinator rather than individual faculty or staff members. The Title IX office will work with the student and with faculty /staff as needed to develop an individualized plan that will ensure access to the university’s programs and provide affected students the best opportunity to complete their education. Contact: Holly Edwards, Title IX Coordinator, Sanderford Administrative Complex, 900 College Street, Belton, Texas 76513, 254-295-4870, hedwards@umhb.edu .
