College is not for everyone. But does this include students with disabilities? There are many laws that concern students with disabilities. Many colleges have laws and regulations for students with disabilities. These laws protect the students from discrimination. Colleges are to provide academic adjustments as necessary to make sure the student is not being discriminated upon. When applying to colleges, a college cannot deny a student with disabilities because of their disability, as long as the student has the essentials requirements for admission. You do not need to inform the school of your disability unless you would like academic adjustments. Many student believe it is unfair from what I have heard. In one of my classes the student had a visual disability and was able to have 2 hours to take the one hour test and many of the students at the end of the hour were very upset. I personally don't think it is unfair because if you think about how much ridicule this student has gone through you can't even compare that to an extra hour.
