In college, it is the student’s responsibility to request accommodation and provide documentation of the disability.

Below are a few tips to help you with your college search: * Make a list of questions to ask a college’s disability services office. Disability Resources: * Make a list of accommodations you need. Minnesota Vocational Rehabilitation Services: www.positivelyminnesota.com/vrs * Talk with other students. HEATH Resource Center: * Call the college disability services office and visit the college to find answers to your questions. www.heath.gwu.edu * Tell the disability services office which modifications you can provide for yourself and which National Center for Learning Disabilities: you need the college to provide. www.ncld.org

(Colleges are not required to provide the same level of accommodation as high schools, even if requested.) F 12. F 11. F 10. T 9. F 8. F 7. F 6. T 5. F 4. T 3. F 2. F 1. Key: Answer 9 Page
