Transitioning to OSU
Transitioning to OSU As a Student with a Disability: A Guide for Parents and Family
Going to college can be a significant transition for both the student and the family. For many students this is the first time they are separating from the family and moving towards independence. This is an exciting time but the transition can also bring up concerns for both the family and the student. Students with disabilities and their family must also understand what it means to transition to a university with a disability and what steps to take in order to receive support from Disability Access Services (DAS) at OSU. The DAS parents and family website is a great place to help you understand the steps the student and family members will need to take in order to make the transition as smooth as possible. This website is divided into five sections:
- Step 1: Pre-Admission
- Step 2: Disability Documentation
- Step 3: OSU Orientation
- Step 4: DAS Orientation
- Step 5: Supporting your student in the first year
If you are a new student, please visit our Getting Started with DAS page for registration procedures.
