Transition from High School to College

Students with disabilities need to understand how processes, rights, and responsibilities change when they transition from high school to postsecondary educational settings. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact or visit the Student Disability Resources office in their junior or senior year of high school to learn more about disability services at the college level.

Students with disabilities and their parents/guardians may have a misconception that postsecondary schools have the same responsibilities as K-12 schools to provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. While there are some similarities, the responsibilities of postsecondary schools are significantly different from those of high schools. The responsibilities of students with disabilities are significantly different in postsecondary education settings as well. The resources below are provided to help students and parents/guardians better understand these differences and prepare for the transition to college can be found below.
