Challenges for Transfer Students Sometimes transferring to a larger institution Academic work becomes more demanding Universal design principles place
accommodations across the campus Students assume that policies, procedures, and
practices will be the same or similar to their previous institution

Things for Students to Consider Disability documentation requirements of the
campus – will the current documentation be sufficient?
Have prerequisite classes been met – substitutions and/or waivers are not always beneficial later?
Does the campus have other support services needed?

Key Messages to Students & Parents There are big differences in what accommodations are
given and how they are applied Make contact with Disability Services early
(so students and parents will know what to expect – informed choice)
Register with Disability Services as soon as accepted (proper class registration & accommodations on placement tests)
Do not reveal disability information during application process
Parents need to become coaches to student rather than direct advocates
