The Student Handbook is incorporated into the Rio Salado College Catalog and Handbook. You can find information about student life, campus services, College procedures, and MCCCD policies.
Pregnant and Parenting Students
It is the goal of the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) to provide students with the opportunity to succeed in their chosen field of study. This goal includes our pregnant and/or parenting students.
As is outlined in Maricopa’s Non-Discrimination policy as well as the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, students will not be discriminated against on the basis of a disclosed pregnancy. This includes discrimination against a student based on pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from any of these conditions. As a result, a pregnant or parenting student (a student during a defined postpartum period lasting up to 8 weeks after delivery), may be provided adjustments so they are able to access and participate in their educational program or activity. Adjustments are available through college Title IX Coordinators (or their designees).
In the event of certain pregnancy-related medical complications, the college Disability Resources and Services (DRS) office may assist in providing accommodations/ academic adjustments.
For more information, please visit the Working with Pregnant and Parenting Students webpage. Rio Salado College students should use the Pregnancy Adjustment Form to request reasonable adjustments and meet with the Title IX Coordinator (or designee) as soon as possible to discuss their requests. For questions, please contact Tafari Osayande, Rio Salado College Title IX Coordinator, at [email protected] or (480) 517-8196.
