If you are coming from high school there are some things you should know since accommodations in college may be quite different from what you are used to.
We suggest a few things you might read:

- U.S. Department of Education's Guide to Students with Disabilities "Students with Disabilities Preparing for Postsecondary Education: Know Your Rights and Responsibilities" at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/transition.html

-The Western New York Consortium of Colleges outlines the legal differences between high school and collge in a helpful, concise manner at http://www.ccdanet.org/ecp/legal_issues/legal_issues_pg/2/

College is also different from high school academically. Think about taking tips from the DO-IT Center by reading their "College Survival Skills" at http://www.washington.edu/doit/Brochures/Academics/survival.html.
