Accommodations

The purpose of lactation accommodation is to provide nursing mothers who are employees or students of the university with a private place to express breast milk.

This accommodation complies with applicable state and federal laws related to provision of accommodation for nursing mothers. All nursing mothers who are university employees or students may reserve a private lactation room (see the APU Employee Handbook (PDF) for policy 6.11: Accommodations for Nursing Mothers in its entirety). These lactation locations are private, secured, shielded from view, and they are not located in a restroom or common area.1 Learn more in our Pregnancy and Lactation Accommodation Q&A (PDF).

Once milk is expressed, the university is not responsible for the integrity or security of breast milk.
