Pregnancy and Post-Delivery Checklist

If you are expecting a child or have just had a baby, this page can direct you to useful policies, benefits, and related information. Since this page will be linking you to different parts of the web site, we suggest that you print out this list and use it to help you keep track of the areas in the site as you visit them. Some of this information applies specifically to pregnancy and newborns, and other pieces of information will become relevant as your baby grows older.

There are separate policy sections for faculty and staff on this checklist, but the benefits section and related information applies to both faculty and staff.
