Transition to College for Students with Disabilites

Jamie Prioli, Director of Access and Disability Services at Ocean County College, will provide an overview of accommodations for students with disabilities in a college setting. Please register.

Academic accommodations for a high school student are often made by the individual in conjunction with their caregivers.  However, accommodations in college are made by the student alone – and are different than those offered by high schools.

Jamie Arasz Prioli, the Director of Access and Disability Services at Ocean County College, will provide an overview of accommodations in a college setting.  In addition, she will share information on eligibility determination and requesting accommodations during your student’s transition to OCC.  This presentation is geared toward high school students and their families as well as students with disabilities considering college after taking a gap year or two.  Please contact the Lacey Branch at (609) 693-8566 to request reasonable accommodations no later than one week before the scheduled event. 

Registration will begin on July 6.
