Prince George’s Community College is committed to providing an educational and employment environment that is free from discrimination based on sex and retaliation. The College, as a recipient of federal financial assistance, is subject to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (Title IX). It is College policy not to discriminate on the basis of sex in its educational programs or activities, including admissions and employment. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination based on actual or perceived characteristics of sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, which includes domestic violence, and dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and retaliation.
 
To ensure compliance with federal, state, and local civil rights laws and regulations, and to affirm its commitment to promoting the goals of fairness and equity in all aspects of the education program or activity, the College’s Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, and Sex Discrimination Policy (031014) and Title IX: Sex Discrimination Procedure (031014CP) provide for prompt, fair, and impartial resolution of all allegations of sex discrimination or retaliation. The College will act on any notice, complaint, or knowledge of a potential violation of this policy or procedure that is received.

Title IX (Sexual Misconduct) Reporting Form

Pregnancy and Related Conditions Rights

Title IX specifically prohibits discrimination against a student or employee based on pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, lactation, and medical conditions and recovery related to these conditions. Under Title IX, the College is prohibited from excluding a pregnant student from participating in any of its educational programs. The College must offer reasonable modifications for a pregnant student, but cannot force the student to accept a particular modification. The College must excuse a student’s absences because of pregnancy or childbirth for as long as the student’s doctor deems the absences medically necessary. When the student returns to school, they must be allowed to return to the same academic and extracurricular status as before their medical leave began, as College operations allow and are available. Any special services provided to students who have temporary medical conditions must also be provided to a pregnant student.
 
If you are a student who is interested in meeting with the Title IX Coordinator to learn about your Title IX rights as a pregnant or parenting student, complete the “Pregnancy and Related Conditions Inquiry” below
