504 Accommodations in College – What You Need to Know (video)

The process of getting 504 accommodations in college or “post-secondary” education is very different from the process in the years before college.

For one thing, there is no 504 plan, no 504 plan team and usually, no parental involvement. Your 504 plan doesn’t transfer in any way, including any records.

However, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (see where the name comes from) does apply if the school receives any federal funding, and if they don’t receive federal funding, equal access to postsecondary institutions for those with disabilities is mandated under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

In this video we cover 504 accommodations in college in general, along with a few tips on how to make the process go as smooth as possible.
