Students with disabilities entering any college, and Gallaudet in particular, need to be well informed about changes in their rights and responsibilities as well as the rights and responsibilities afforded by the University. A student who is well informed will help to ensure a full opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the postsecondary education experience without confusion or delay. Future students with disabilities are encouraged to contact or visit the Office for Students with Disabilities in their junior or senior years in high school in order to find out more about disability services at the college level.
There is often a misperception by students entering college, and their parents, that postsecondary schools and school districts have the same responsibilities in providing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. While there are some similarities, the responsibilities of postsecondary schools are significantly different from those of school districts at the secondary level. Also, the responsibilities of students with disabilities are significantly different as well.
A student with a disability who is considering a postsecondary education at Gallaudet University is encouraged to read all information contained in this web site. This will provide a better understanding of the policies and procedures regarding services for students with disabilities at the University.
