INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION    

Must provide a student academic adjustments to ensure that s/he receives an equal opportunity to participate.  It is not required that such support produce identical results or levels of achievement for individuals with disabilities and persons without disabilities, but rather that person with disabilities have an equal opportunity to achieve the same results or levels of achievement in the most integrated setting appropriate.

   
FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION
