The colleges CAN accept an IEP but they don’t have to by law because they are designed for those in public schools, k-12. Some colleges require either new testing or some other way to get accommodations. There also may be accommodations not on the IEP that the student might need when living away from home, like a private room or special foods, to take all classes early in the day, or no class longer than 4 hours. Those are things that weren’t needed in the grade school IEP.

My daughter had an expired IEP and some of her schools (high school) would still take it and make the minor accommodations, some wouldn’t. It wasn’t worth it to get it renewed, but it was helpful when a school/teacher would work with her.
