Accessible Childcare Support

Ashesi's "Mother's Lounge" is a 1-bedroom duplex apartment designated to childcare support for any Ashesi mother faculty, staff, and students should they need childcare support on campus during working hours.

Female students who become parents by birth are also afforded the option of taking time-off from school or taking advantage of joining their classes online from home. The female student on resumption of in-person learning does not face any disruption with her course of study if she opted for taking time-off, and continues seamlessly if she opted for the online continuous learning. With the assistance of the academic advisor, the student may reconfigure her program of study, if necessary. If she had a scholarship award that had to be put on hold, arrangements would be made to reinstate, without penalty on her resumption of classes.
