Students with Disabilities
As students with disabilities graduate from high school and begin postsecondary education, they transition from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This transition affects the types of services provided and the responsibilities of both students and postsecondary institutions. To understand the basic differences between IDEA and ADA, students may want to review the following Web site sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education.
Students with disabilities are welcome on all campuses of the State University System. If students wish to receive accommodations while enrolled, they should contact the student disability office at the university. Links to the individual university offices are listed below.
