Lactation Resources

Lactation falls under Title 9 rights and is considered a medical condition/need under the Makeup Work for Legitimate Absences policy. Absences from class, lab, or clinical will be excused for both the time required to pump and the travel time to and from the nearest location.

The University of Minnesota and Lactation Advocacy Committee provides a variety of spaces available throughout campus to support breastfeeding needs. The closest location to Weaver-Densford Hall is in 1-338 Moos Tower. It’s equipped with two Medela Lactina Plus electric breast pumps, refrigerator, chairs, reading materials, and sink. Access to the lactation space in 1-338 Moos Tower can be requested via submission of the online form that will automatically send an email with instructions to access the space.

Additional resources and information regarding spaces across campus can be found through the University Lactation Resources website.
