College Path
Placement into local college programs leading to completion of
degree requirements or ability to matriculate to a four year college or
university. Successful graduation enables students to enter the workforce
in their major area, or pursue advanced degrees for their professional
specialty.
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.
