FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES - CHILDBIRTH ACCOMMODATION POLICY
The Stony Brook Childbirth Accommodation Policy (SB-CAP) will enable pregnant and child-bearing Graduate School students to maintain full-time, registered student status and facilitate their return to full participation in class work, research, teaching and clinical training.
SB-CAP includes provisions for academic extensions, relief from regular teaching, research, clinical and/or training duties and interim financial support from the Graduate School for students that receive stipend support as Teaching Assistants, Graduate Assistants, or Research Assistants. The SB-CAP guidelines encourage open communication between students, their advisors, Graduate Program Directors and additional supervisors of clinical work or teaching responsibilities with the goal of accommodating the needs of pregnant and child-bearing graduate students in a manner that minimizes the disruption to their graduate training activities and responsibilities.
ELIGIBILITY
The current policy states that pregnant graduate students must inform their program directors, advisors and whomever they are working closely with (i.e professor) that they wish to take leave by the 24th week of pregnancy. Students must have the knowledge and consent of their advisor, program directors, professors and a doctor's note to be eligible. International students will also need to consult with International Services.
If you have any questions, please contact Charles Taber in the Graduate School (631-632-7170).
