Pregnancy: Academics  

You Have Options

UCSD has resources designed to academically support expectant students. You have options whether you choose to remain enrolled full-time, explore part-time enrollment, or take a leave and return to school later.

Part-Time and Leave of Absence Eligibility

Student Affairs has gathered campus wide policy and resource information for part-time enrollment and leave options related to family responsibilities. Requirements and policies differ depending on whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student.

OPHD Reasonable Modifications

OPHD can meet with you to explore tailored academic adjustments, a type of Reasonable Modification, that may be available based on your pregnancy needs. Some examples include flexibility on attendance/assignments, restroom breaks, and allowing eating and drinking during class. OPHD reviews requests on a case by case basis.
