How and when should a pregnancy accommodation request be submitted?

When possible, it is best to seek pregnancy accommodations as soon as you and your physician foresee likely issues, even if they do not yet impose major limitations. While an accommodation generally should not be utilized until it is actually necessary, advance notice of likely issues can allow the university to pre-approve an accommodation and inform the necessary faculty or staff to ensure a smoother transition if and when they arise.

We understand that it may be impossible to predict complications and limitations stemming from pregnancy and will endeavor to respond to requests on short notice when feasible. But where advance notice can be provided, it is recommended.
