Pregnancy and Parenting
Coding Dojo, a part of Colorado Technical University (“CTU”) is committed to providing a safe and fair learning environment for all students, including those pursuing their studies while pregnant and/or recovering from pregnancy related conditions. Students with pregnancy related conditions are entitled to reasonable Title IX accommodations to ensure they are given equitable learning opportunities during their courses. Reasonable Title IX accommodations available under this policy include but are not limited to: Extended deadlines on assignments, an Incomplete Extension at the end of the course, and campus-based accommodations (when applicable) such as elevator access, preferred/alternate seating, and frequent bathroom breaks.
Pregnancy and pregnancy related conditions covered include pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, conditions arising in connection with pregnancy, and recovery from these conditions. This list is not exhaustive.
Any additional time granted after the course closes and final grades are posted must be approved by the Title IX Coordinator and/or designated University Leadership.
Students needing additional accommodations related to Pregnancy or pregnancy related conditions that extend beyond the details of this policy should reach out to their Student Experience Manager for further intervention with the Title IX team and/or designated leadership. Student Experience Managers are also available to discuss needs related to university leave of absence options or course loads.
Students who currently receive ADA Accommodations in their Coding Dojo program are still eligible to seek Pregnancy related Accommodations through this policy; however accommodations cannot be stacked or duplicated (e.g., a student with an ADA accommodation of additional days to submit work will not be afforded even more additional days to submit work; a student with an ADA accommodation of an Incomplete Extension at the end of a course will not be provided an additional Incomplete Extension as a Pregnancy accommodation). The Title IX Office and ADA Coordinator will work in tandem to ensure students’ needs are addressed and faculty receive necessary guidance and support. Unless otherwise specified by the Title IX Coordinator and/or Designee, Pregnancy Accommodations may not exceed eight (8) weeks beyond the reported or expected birth due date, or the end of the program, whichever is sooner.
Students receiving Accommodations due to pregnancy or pregnancy related conditions must still adhere to the University’s Attendance Policy found here.
For questions related to this policy, please contact support@codingdojo.com or the Title IX Coordinator at CTUOnline_Title9Coordinator@coloradotech.edu.
If you feel you are being discriminated against because you are pregnant or parenting, you may file a complaint by using the University’s internal Title IX grievance procedures found in the University Catalog.
