Conclusion

Narrowing down your options is only the first step in getting into the college of your choice. The next step is the application process, and it is going to take a lot of work and commitment on your part to make sure the application is complete and submitted on time. Using the College Application Timeline as a checklist to keep you on track will ensure that you meet all required deadlines. Once you have been accepted and have chosen the college you will attend, you will have to decide on whether or not to disclose your disability. Most students find it beneficial to disclose their disability so that they can receive the academic supports they will need to perform up to their academic potential. The sooner you contact the Student Disability Services Office, the more prepared the staff will be to make sure you receive the requested accommodations.

Another critical decision that has to be made at this point involves your housing arrangements. It is important to be honest when completing the questionnaire to be matched with a roommate, but it is your decision if, when, and how to disclose your disability to your roommate. Just remember, honesty is probably the best policy in being able to live together and accommodate each other’s differences in regard to personality, learning styles, and habits.
