Do college/universities have special admission standards for people with disabilities?
No. Postsecondary admissions offices must treat all applicants equally and are prohibited from asking applicants if they have a disability prior to admission. Applicants with disabilities must be qualified, and, with or without reasonable accommodation, meet the same standards (including academic, professional, technical, behavioral, etc.) as students without disabilities[i]. Students are encouraged to attempt to meet the standards of any program they choose. Academic accommodations are provided to students with disabilities to ensure that they will have equal access to the information and the classroom setting. Everyone, however, must meet the same requirements in the end.
