As a prospective student, accepted student, or even current student, you may have questions in regards to disability services. Many of these questions may be answered by our Undergraduate FAQs page. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our office.

We recognize that receiving support and accommodations is very different from what one may have experienced in high school. One key step to a successful transition from high school to college is to anticipate and be prepared for the differences between the two settings. This is especially true for students with disabilities. In addition to dealing with the same transition issues that all students face, students with disabilities also have the added challenge of changes in how support services are requested and arranged. In college, students must play a more active role and assume more responsibility. The Big Difference Between High School and College compares the legal rights and responsibilities in high school versus those in college.
