Purpose of survey “Transferring to another school can be stressful, especially if
one has a disability. My sophomore year I transferred to Whitewater University because of the wonderful things I’ve heard about the university’s accommodations for students with disabilities. While there are programs to assist incoming freshmen with disabilities, I found that there were no programs* for transfer students with disabilities. I sought out a mentor to help me navigate my way. I found it extremely helpful to have a “go to person.” This survey will help me determine interest in a mentorship program for other transfer students with disabilities. Thank you so much for taking the time to take this survey and for sharing your ideas!”
*I recently discovered that transfer programs are in place, but aren’t well known to transfer students.

Looking ahead to your transfer year, do you think being mentored by an upper classperson with a disability would be helpful for you?

If there was a Facebook group specifically for transfer students with disabilities to post questions and answer posted questions, would you use it?
