RISE Act aims to improve college access and success for students with disabilities by enhancing information transparency and support.
The RISE Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to ensure students with disabilities and their families have access to critical information for college selection and success. It modifies the definition of disability to include documentation from high school, such as an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 plan. The Act mandates institutions to adopt transparent policies for determining eligibility for accommodations and to disseminate this information to students, parents, and faculty.
