Legal Assistance For Students Headed To College

Many students have difficulty transitioning into college and/or completing their education at the college level for a variety of reasons. Some students never realized during their K-12 education that they had learning challenges, therefore, they transition out of high school without the requisite study skills necessary to succeed in college. Now, college may seem almost impossible.

If you are facing any of the following issues and you are having trouble with your college experience; We can help you find the answers for your particular situation:

Academic Reasons

1. Poor Academic Performance: Consistently low grades or failing to meet the minimum GPA requirements.
2. Lack of Satisfactory Progress: Not completing enough credits or failing to meet specific program requirements.
3. Violation of Academic Integrity: Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty.

Behavioral Reasons

4. Misconduct: Violations of the student code of conduct, such as substance abuse, violence, or harassment.
5. Unsatisfactory Internship Behavior: Poor performance or misconduct during internships or practical training.

Administrative Reasons

6. Financial Issues: Inability to pay tuition or other fees.
7. Failure to Follow Accommodation Plans: If a school fails to provide necessary accommodations for students with disabilities, it can lead to dismissal.
8. Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics.
9. Disparate Treatment: Unequal treatment of students in similar situations.
10. Favoritism: Preferential treatment of certain students over others.

Invisible disabilities such as ADHD or dyslexia may have been undetected until the demands of college make it impossible to ignore that something is off. Other students enter college knowing they are in need of accommodations after having either a 504 or IEP in the past. However, they are having difficulty getting their college to provide accommodations for one of several reasons:

• Their evaluations are dated and need to be updated to prove the need for those same accommodations in college.
• The college may be willfully ignoring or denying the student’s request for reasonable and legally allowable accommodations.
