Prerequisite: Activities 36-42 and Admission to a college.

Once you have been admitted to a college, it is important to meet with a disability services coordinator at the earliest possible date. This will allow you to resolve any difficulty with your documentation and give the disability services office sufficient time to arrange for accommodations. Accommodations such as books on tape and Braille text may require 4 to 6 months.

 

	Schedule an appointment to meet on campus with the disability services coordinator. If you are still uncertain, be sure to ask what type of information and documentation you must bring to this meeting to establish your eligibility for service. See Activity 40-2. Take notes or ask to record this conversation. Present your documentation and discuss anything you need to add to the information you currently have. Talk about the responsibilities and procedures that you as a college student must follow to access support services. Discuss the accommodations you think you are eligible to receive. Write down any tasks that you will need to complete and record all deadlines on your Planning Calendar. (See Activity 24.)
	Review what you learned and tasks to be completed with your teacher, parent and/or counselor.
	Take action on each task you have recorded.
