Abstract	This study snapshot presents the key findings from the full study conducted in response to concerns raised by Texas higher education stakeholders about the limited information available on college outcomes among students with a disability. While most colleges provide services and accommodations for students with self-identified disabilities, many students do not report their disabilities, and colleges have limited means to gauge the prevalence of students with disabilities because of student privacy protections. This creates uncertainties for higher education leaders about how well their colleges serve students with different types of disability, as designated in high school, and those students' progress toward attaining college credentials and degrees. The Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest examined college enrollment and completion among four cohorts of Texas public high school graduates (2006/07 through 2009/10) by disability status in high school, student demographic characteristics, and primary disability type. The study provides new foundational evidence on college enrollment and completion for students with a disability. The findings can help secondary and postsecondary educators and administrators identify where students with different types of disability and different demographic characteristics might need additional support in the pipeline between high school graduation and college completion.
