Published by the ADA National Network — a consortium of ten regional ADA centres funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) — this factsheet provides legally accurate, plain-language guidance on disability rights in higher education. It is one of the most widely referenced introductory documents for students transitioning from high school to college.
The factsheet explains what colleges and universities must do under the ADA and Section 504: provide architectural access, effective communication aids, and academic adjustments. It details how the accommodation request process works in higher education — and how it fundamentally differs from the IEP and 504 plan process in K–12 — and outlines what students should do if accommodation requests are denied. The document is freely available online and regularly updated.
College students with disabilities learning about their accommodation rights for the first time, families supporting a student making the transition from high school, and campus staff seeking a concise, legally grounded summary of their obligations to students with disabilities.
