Title IX

Supportive Measures

The Title IX Office is about more than formal complaints and investigations.

Did you know that a large part of our work is coordinating supportive measures for students?

Supportive measures are available to pregnant and parenting Wofford employees and students and to any Wofford community member impacted by discrimination, harassment and/or sexual and gender-based misconduct.

If applicable, we can:

  • Reach out to your professors on your behalf to coordinate academic support.
  • Issue a “mutual no-contact order.”
  • Help arrange alternate housing assignments.
  • Provide an individual to escort a complainant and/or a respondent between on-campus classes, work and/or activities.
  • Connect you with confidential support such as the Wofford Counseling Services, the Chaplain’s Office and/or Project R.E.S.T.

Accommodations and supportive measures for pregnant and parenting employees and students may include, but are not limited to: 

  • Excused absences
  • Flexible deadlines
  • Bathroom breaks
  • Adjusted parking spaces
  • Lactation spaces (dedicated spaces or by request)

Other supportive options may also be available.

The sooner you access the resources you need, the better. We’re here to help in any way we can, even if you are unsure how you would like to proceed. What you need now might change in the future, so getting the conversation started is always the best call.
