The colleges do not “accept the IEP”. The colleges look at the provisions on that IEP, and determine what accommodations the college will put in place. If the student needs additional accommodations because they are no longer living at home, the need for these will need to be well documented.

Most colleges want evaluation/documentation information that is more recent.

Our high school special education personnel spend a lot of time updating IEP related information and 504 information…evaluations and documentation of the need for accommodations…during junior and senior years of HS for our IEP and 504 kids.

I believe this OP said her kid had an IEP. That being the case…a transition plan was required beginning at age 14. Where I am, this documentation is part of transition plan for the student…s it relates to post high school planning.
