Descripción en Español

Preparing for college is a process. It includes learning how to be an independent learner, to advocate for oneself and how to improve your academic skills continuously. ÎÞÓÇ´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾s with disabilities going to college should understand that they will be expected to perform – and will be assessed – in the same manner as their peers. There are other considerations, among them are:

  • What sorts of reasonable accommodations are available?
  • How do I request reasonable accommodations?
  • What sort of documentation do I need to receive accommodations?
  • Why doesn’t my IEP or 504 plan follow me to college?
  • What steps can I take now to be college ready?
  • What is the level of parents’ involvement in college?

ÎÞÓÇ´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ State University’s Banacos Academic Center will host hour-long Zoom sessions to address these very questions for high school personnel, students and their parents or guardians.  Disability/Accessibility Services staff from the other Massachusetts Universities and a ÎÞÓÇ´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ State Admissions representative will be present.  Sessions are capped at 50 sign ups. 

Sessions for students, families, and high school personnel ()

  • Dates for 2023-2024 to be determined
