Prohibition of Sex Discrimination and Sex-Based Harassment

In accordance with the provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Clery Act as it was amended in the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, Unitek College strongly prohibits acts of sexual misconduct, including sexual discrimination, sex-based harassment, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault, and is committed to fostering an environment of awareness and prevention. To that end, the College will investigate complaints of sexual misconduct and, as applicable, execute disciplinary actions when the institution has determined that an act of sexual misconduct has occurred.

We encourage victims of sexual misconduct to report the offense to the College’s Title IX Coordinator who can provide victims with supportive measures and resources, including assistance with notifying local law enforcement authorities if so desired, and information on the process to file a complaint.  If you become a victim of sexual violence, you should consider calling the police and seeking medical attention immediately.  Additionally, if you fear for your safety or others around you, filing a protective order may be a good idea.

The Title IX Coordinator for Unitek College is:
Briana Gamble, Compliance Manager
1401 Dove Street, Suite 340
Newport Beach, CA  92660
(602) 858-6305
bgamble@unitek.com

Any person may report sexual misconduct as described above in person, by mail, by telephone, or by email, using the contact information listed above for the Title IX Coordinator. Additionally, the complaint may be made at any time to any College employee (including during non-business hours).

Pregnancy and Related Medical Conditions

Unitek College is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for pregnant and parenting students. Under Title IX regulations, pregnant students cannot be excluded from participating in any part of an educational program and must be treated in the same manner and under the same policies as any other individual with a temporary medical condition. Additionally, the College does not discriminate regarding a student’s current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions.

Students who are pregnant, or who have a pregnancy-related medical condition, are entitled to reasonable modifications to allow the student to continue their educational pursuits as long as such modifications do not create an undue hardship on the program/ department or fundamentally alter the nature of the program. Therefore, reasonable modifications will be provided to allow a pregnant student to fully participate in educational opportunities. Please speak with your Campus Academic Leadership team to discuss the options and reasonable modifications and to complete the necessary documentation.

Subsequent to pregnancy and/or upon a student’s return to class, the College provides access to lactation space and time. The lactation space at the College is:

  • A clean space other than a bathroom
  • Private and shielded from view
  • Free from intrusion from others
  • Accessible by the students for expressing breast milk, as needed.

It is the student’s responsibility to meet with their instructor upon returning to class to discuss and create a workable and reasonable schedule to allow the student time and space for lactation outside of the student’s normal break times. The student will need to notify the instructor prior to the need, must still meet all academic requirements for the course, and will be responsible for making any arrangements to recover missed information while away from class.

Please note the College cannot guarantee that the clinical/externship sites will abide by these modifications/requests, as the site partner process is separate from the College process and decisions are made solely by the site partners. It will be the student’s responsibility to request this information from the clinical/externship partner.

For Unitek College’s full policies and procedures to comply with Title IX requirements, please refer to the Annual Security Report located on this website.
