504 and IEP Resource

SMSU does provide services for students with disabilities and IEPs at the high school. However, accommodations may vary from what is available at the high school, as we will not provide accommodations in the IEP that are considered a fundamental alteration at the college or university level.

At the university level, a 504 plan or IEP are tools to assist Accessibility Services and students in determining reasonable and appropriate accommodations. If a student taking a College Now course in their high school would like consideration of accommodations from their plan, the SMSU College Now Office will need to receive the following:

a completed 504 or IEP form
written documentation of the disability (a copy of the 504 or IEP plan)
a letter from the diagnostician (Doctor, Therapist, Social Worker, Psychiatrist, etc.) as to what assessments (WAIS, Woodcock Johnson, Interview, DSM … ) were done to come to the conclusion that this individual has a disability and what major life activity is substantially limited.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the College Now Office regarding this process.
