    I was thinking about students with disabilities who attempt college, whether it be through certification programs or community college. Usually, a student needs to be a full-time student in order to get financial aid. But what about students who just take a course or two at a time because that’s all they can handle? Are they then disadvantaged for not having access to financial aid as full-time students? I wonder if anyone else has dealt with this scenario with their students.

      Thanks for this important consideration Becky… probably should be able to compare/track students with & without disabilities enrollment, completion, gpa & graduation rates knowing that education occurs in life as well as the classroom. Maybe these factors cancel out most relative advantages for FT vs. PT students?
