Students with Children

DePaul has a number of students who have children of their own. This dual parent-student identity is important and below find some tailored resources and information for you.

Title IX for Parenting and Pregnant Students

Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex — including pregnancy, parenting, and all related conditions — in education and in programs and activities that receive federal funding. If you are a pregnant or parenting student, you have the right to stay in school so you can meet your education and career goals. Important information on your rights can be found here.

Or email the Title IX coordinator at titleixcoordinator@depaul.edu
