Abstract
When a student with disabilities transfers from community college to a post-secondary institution, there is no guarantee that the student will be able to transfer in all of her or his accommodations. Community college students may assume that all of their previous accommodations will be honored at their new university; however, this is not always the case as confirmed by this research. This thesis addresses the inconsistencies in accommodations and services that students with disabilities experience when they transfer from community college to California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). The source of the data came from interviewing five community college students with disabilities about their college experiences in both community college and at CSUS. The result of the interviews generated a set of guidelines that students can utilize to better prepare themselves for future changes in their accommodations.
