Virginia’s College Guide for Students With Disabilities
(pdf)
Awareness of the needs of college-bound students with disabilities has grown markedly since the first edition
of the College Guide in 1993. Making the right choice from among the diverse opportunities available can be a
time-consuming and difficult task. The more students, parents, teachers, and counselors know about the
student’s options, the more likely they will make a successful match. The Virginia Department of Education
designed this document to provide guidance and technical assistance not to offer legal advice. The Department
initiated this revision of the College Guide to assist:
-
Students with disabilities, and their parents, in the transition from high school
to postsecondary education settings;
-
Students with disabilities to identify services provided at Virginia’s institutions
of higher learning;
-
Students with disabilities in understanding how to seek appropriate academic
adjustments and auxiliary aids and services;
- Services providers for students with disabilities with identifying information,
locating resources, and participating in an informational network; and
- With improving the quality of life for students with disabilities.
This document continues to evolve. Periodic updates will supplement or revise portions of the document. Questions
or issues regarding it or recommendations for future updates may be directed to the Virginia Department of
Education at (800) 292-3820.
