and parenting students. See the office website for more info. Please contact that office for its Resource Guide for
Students with Children.
Center
for Students with Disabilities: Under
certain circumstances, complications related to pregnancy or childbirth may
qualify as a disability that could impact an individual's ability to
participate in an educational program. As appropriate, the Center for Students
with Disabilities can be a resource for providing services and assisting with
establishing reasonable accommodations.
DePaul offers an organization
designated for parents of small children, Parents of Little Ones (POLO). For more information on POLO, please see the Office of Adult Student Affairs DeHUB page.
