Pregnancy and Parenting Support

Request an Adjustment  

The person seeking the adjustment is encouraged to begin the conversation with their faculty or supervisor to engage in the interactive process. If you are unable to come to an agreement, contact the Office of Compliance, Ethics, and Equal Opportunity for assistance.  

Use the Pregnancy/Lactation Adjustment Agreement as a guide in coming up with a reasonable adjustment. 

Lactation 

Nursing individuals should be provided with reasonable break time to express breast/chest milk or nurse as needed. UNM has designated lactation stations on Main and North Campus, including the UNM Schol of Law and UNM Hospital to better accommodate our community.     

The UNM's Women's Resource Center offers the Chest/Breastfeeding Support Program, which is free of charge for all UNM students, staff, faculty, and their partners/spouses. The program includes lactation rooms on campus, some equipped with hospital-grade pumps. It also provides links to lactation resources and facilitates communication between current, past, and future chest/breastfeeding parents on campus.
