Follow up on the 504 → College discussion

• IEP and 504 plans end when our kids graduate from high school.
• Colleges are legally required to provide accommodations for students who have documented disabilities. The 504 and/or IEP plan that was used in high school can — and should — be submitted to the college as documentation to support the need for accommodations.
• More often than not the student success office at the college will use the high school 504/IEP to inform the plan that they create for the student, but it is not the same exact plan the student had in high school.
• Once the need for accommodations has been confirmed, the professors are required to follow the 504 plan provided by the college. But only if they have been made aware of the need for accommodations.
• A lot of colleges put the onus on the student to deliver the accommodation letter to the professor at the beginning of the semester. The professor has to acknowledge receipt.
