Those students who have received classroom accommodations while in high school can
receive classroom accommodations from high school to college or those who have a medical
diagnosis of their disabilities.
You will need to provide us with a copy of your IEP (Individual Evaluation Plan),
your 504 Plan, and/or your medical records that include your diagnosis.
No. Not all your accommodations in high school will be transferred to college.
When accommodations are not transferable, the OSDS will make minor adjustments that will meet your need of care.
You can use your IEP or 504 for three years or less when enrolled at SC State.
After reviewing your documentation (IEP, 504, or Medical Documentation), the OSDS will inform you in writing using only your SC State email address.
No. Personal email addresses can only be used prior to you becoming a student at SC State. Once
you receive your SC State email address, that will be the only method of communication
other than face-to-face contact.

letter and obtain your required signature. The OSDS will pull your class schedule and send your accommodation letter to each of your
instructors/professors.
