Students pursuing a college emphasis while attending LDI have both credit
and non-credit college-level courses available to them through numerous
local community college and university offerings. An individual attending
LDI and in this option is interested in completing associate degree requirements,
developing academic competency to the level of college proficiency, and/or
matriculating four-year colleges or universities. All college courses offered
on the LDI campus or in the community are fully approved and accredited
by the North Central Association Commission on Higher Education.
LDI and its advisors can help students select their classes and use local
community college or university staff resources to determine (based on the
student's focus/degree goals) what classes s/he needs to take. The local
community college counseling/advisement center along with their disability
services department and LDI have good working relationships.
On-campus and on-going academic assistance is scheduled on a one-on-one
basis or in small group tutorials. Mentoring support is provided throughout
the student's on and off-campus program period. Each student has an individual
accommodation plan developed and given to the office of disability services
staff at the college campus where courses are being taken. In addition,
all students taking college courses have an assigned mentor who interfaces
with off-campus college personnel, and to make certain that reasonable classroom
accommodations are implemented.
