Student Policy on Pregnancy and Related Conditions
KHSU-KansasCOM is committed to creating and maintaining a safe learning and working environment that is free of unlawful discrimination, harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. As such, KHSU-KansasCOM prohibits sex discrimination, which can include discrimination based on pregnancy, family, marital, or parental status in admissions, educational programs and activities, hiring, leave policies, and employment policies.
Pregnancy is typically treated similarly to a temporary disability. Under this policy, a student will be given appropriate accommodations that may include but are not limited to an opportunity to make up missed work (e.g., papers, quizzes, tests, presentations, and other assignments), extended deadlines, independent study, online course completion or remote attendance, assignment of Incomplete grade. To the extent possible, KHSU-KansasCOM will take reasonable steps to ensure that pregnant students who take a leave return to the same position of academic progress that they were in when the leave began. The Title IX Coordinator or designee has the authority to determine that such accommodations are necessary and appropriate and to inform faculty members of the need to adjust academic parameters accordingly.
