Differences Between High School and College

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE DISABILITY SERVICES
 
 

Colleges (including MSC Southeast) are not required to:
• Provide specific auxiliary aids (paraprofessionals) as long as the college provides a method of assistance that allows equal opportunity
• Provide academic modifications if these modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the course or program (i.e., extend homework deadlines/shortened assignments)
• Provide personal attendants (paraprofessionals)
• Provide personal or private tutors
• Prepare “Individualized Education Programs” (IEP’s or 504 plans)
