Students with disabilities have the right to access higher education, and High Point University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access to academics and campus life. While HPU offers a range of support services, it does not provide specialized programs for students with significant delays in adaptive or independent living skills.
As the Premier Life Skills University, HPU emphasizes professional and business-oriented soft skills—such as leadership, teamwork, and communication—that prepare students for career success. These differ from adaptive life skills, which focus on daily functioning, self-care, and independent living. While some institutions offer programs specifically designed to support students with adaptive skill delays, HPU’s offerings are centered on career readiness.

Students and families are encouraged to consider whether the structure and level of support offered at HPU align with their individual needs and goals for independence.
