[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]He’s also eligible for a 504 plan which can grant him any accommodations he needs due to his condition and protect those needs. Not sure if he had one in high school but they also do continue through college.  [/b]There should be a disability office at his school that can help. [/quote]

There no IEPs or 504 plans in college. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (the law that provides students with these),  no longer applies to them once they graduate from high school.

You will have to seek new and separate accommodations at the university.  While I do not have experience with a student or friend at either you mention OP, I do know of two families who were successful in getting singles at local universities due to medical reasons, by working through the student disabilities office and residential life.

504’s are under a different law and absolutely apply in college.  [/quote]

It's section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, but still does not apply in college. The Americans with Disabilities Act does apply, and requires colleges to make *reasonable* accommodations. In practice, ADA accommodations may look very similar to 504 accommodations, but a 504 written in high school doesn't automatically carry over. The college will make its own determination of reasonable accommodations.[/quote]
