Parenting Students

Being a pregnant or parenting university student in Illinois presents a unique set of challenges shaped by social, economic, and learning conditions. These students often face financial strain, lack of access to affordable childcare, limited support networks, and difficulties balancing academic responsibilities with parenting duties.

UIC's Women's Leadership and Resource Center and Office for Access and Equity provide valuable information and resources aimed at not only understanding the challenges of parenting students but also providing strategies to support their educational journey.
