SPS Parent and Student Transition to College Night

Publish Date: April 26, 2022

On March 16, the CHC Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) office hosted a parent-student transition to college night for prospective Crafton students.

Students currently participating in high school special education programs and their parents were invited to the campus to learn about disability laws that apply to college students, how to request academic accommodations, assistive technology, alternate media, and priority registration. The purpose of the event was to facilitate the student’s transition to Crafton, acquaint them with DSPS staff, and enhance their opportunity for academic success.

Outreach Coordinator Belinda Navarrette guided attendees on an optional campus tour before the event. The 34 attendees were able to ask questions and meet staff who will be working with them to ensure their success at Crafton.

“These are the types of events that will help bridge our enrollment gap, but more importantly, ensure that our students and their families are informed about the variety of support services available to them,” stated Dr. Ivan Peña, Dean of Student Equity and Success.

To qualify for DSPS, you must be an enrolled student at CHC, have a verifiable disability that causes educational limitations, and have the ability to benefit from instruction. For more information about DSPS support available visit www.craftonhills.edu/DSPS.
