Many colleges across the country are now broadening their mission to promote educational opportunities to an increasingly diverse population that includes individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD). As a result, postsecondary education programs for students with ID/DD are emerging across the United States. While these programs grow, it is important that colleges and universities consider various university policies. In this article, the authors address critical considerations and discussion points to help guide college and university professionals and administration to ensure smooth program development. Specifically, the authors address three issues: (a) participant eligibility and admission, (b) access to academic and nonacademic services, and (c) area of liability. Guiding questions and recommendations for policy and practice are also provided.
