Unlike in K-12, a students' history of accommodations is discussed during the intake process and is considered when applying accommodations to the academic environment at RCC. However, any accommodations or modifications from an IEP or 504 plan are not guaranteed to be provided in the postsecondary level as access and educational laws change in this setting. If an accommodation request is determined to alter an essential component of a course or program, or alter a requirement and the fundamental nature of that requirement, it will not be provided. Furthermore, accommodations a student received at one postsecondary institution may not be provided at another, as each institution establishes their own academic requirements and essential components.
