Abstract: The National Center for College Students with
Disabilities (NCCSD) at the University of Minnesota and originated by
the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) is
authorized by Congress in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008
(777.4) and was established in 2016. The NCCSD College Disability
Resource Database is designed to address a gap in information about
services and accessibility for college students with disabilities, who
make up 19.5% of the undergraduate population. Existing general
information about colleges is available in the Department of
Education's online College Navigator and College Affordability and
Transparency Center, but the only information about students with
disabilities in these databases is the percentage of students
registered with campus disability services offices. At this time, this
is the only database that provide systematic collection of information
about campus-level disability-related services, access, and activities
at colleges and universities in the United States. The NCCSD survey
asks all U.S. campuses to provide basic information about disability
services, accessibility of campus, and disability-related activities
that may affect inclusion and the campus climate. The data is available
to the public in an accessible and searchable database to help
prospective college students and their families make informed decisions
during the college search process. Because the database is public,
researchers and policymakers are able to utilize the data to gather
information about disability and higher education in systematic ways.
The Department is requesting a revision of the survey for the
following reasons: to add non-degree-granting institutions of higher
education to the respondent universe; to change the timeframe for and
revise one question; to revise the possible responses to one question;
and to add three new questions regarding faculty/instructor disability
training.
