New Mexico Junior College

New Mexico Junior College is committed to providing an educational and employment environment that is free from discrimination on the basis of sex, which includes discrimination based on current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions.

NMJC will provide Reasonable Modifications to prevent sex discrimination and ensure equal access to NMJC's education programs and activities. Any student seeking Reasonable Modifications must contact the Title IX Coordinator or the Coordinator's designee, Kelly Rueda, to discuss appropriate and available Reasonable Modifications based on their individual needs.

Reasonable Modifications

Students are encouraged to request Reasonable Modifications as promptly as possible. Reasonable Modifications are voluntary, and a student can accept or decline the offered modifications. Not all modifications are appropriate for all contexts.

Reasonable Modifications may include:

•     Breaks during class to express breast milk, breastfeed, or attend to health needs associated with   pregnancy or related conditions, including eating, drinking, or using the restroom
•     Intermittent absences to attend medical appointments
•     Access to online or homebound education
•     Changes in schedule or course sequence
•     Time extensions for coursework and rescheduling of tests and examinations
•     Allowing a student to sit or stand, or carry or keep water nearby
•     Counseling
•     Changes in physical space or supplies (for example, access to a larger desk or a footrest)
•     Elevator access
•     A larger uniform or other required clothing or equipment
•     Other changes to policies, practices, or procedures determined by the Title IX Coordinator

Lactation

NMJC will allow reasonable breaks to students and employees for lactation. NMJC provides a clean, private, non-bathroom space for lactation that is shielded from view and free from the intrusion of others. Discrimination based on lactation or related medical conditions is prohibited.
