从K-12到大学的过渡

欢迎!

On behalf of the 残疾支援资源 (DSR) office, we would like to welcome you to 大峡谷州立大学. There are a number of differences between the accommodation process in high school and college and these differences are due to the distinct intentions of the laws that govern the provision of these accommodations. In high school, accommodations are an entitlement, whereas in college, it is a civil rights mandate. Greater emphasis is on personal responsibility and self-advocacy in college. While this is an important part of the developmental process for college students, it can lead to some difficulties for students who are used to having many of the procedures related to accommodations handled for them by someone else on their behalf. We know that transitioning from high school to college life can be a little overwhelming, 但我们是来帮你的.


为大学做准备

IEP/504到《博天堂官方网页》承保范围

  • The difference between an IEP/504 plan and the American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA).
    • When you graduate high school, your IEP/504 plan ends and you will now be covered under the ADA.  This means that accommodations may be a lot different in college than what you had in K-12.  Your disability advisor will explain in greater detail how this will affect you.

如何为大学做准备

  • In order to receive accommodations for your disability in college, you will need to provide documentation of your disability to your disability advisor.
  • GVSU requests that the documentation you provide be five years old or newer. 
  • 文档示例:
    • Psychological examination completed by a qualified mental health professional. (your high school counselor can help you with this examination)
    • Letter from your doctor that is signed, and on the doctor’s letterhead.
      • 必须包括残疾的诊断吗
      • 用于诊断的测试
      • 你需要的住宿建议
  • 表单模板可从 DSR文档网页.

维护自己的权利

  • 大学 will be different than high school as to where your professors will need to know about any accommodations that you need and you will need to be the one to have that discussion with them.
  • 现在你是成年人了, your parents or other individuals you used in the past to help you will not always be able to do that.  Your DSR advisor can work with you to help you learn how to self-advocate for yourself.
  • DSR will provide you with an accommodation letter that has your approved accommodations listed on it. 你需要把这个打印出来, take to your professors and have a conversation with them to determine what will be the best way for you to receive them.
