Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, colleges and universities are prohibited from rejecting applicants solely because they have a disability (34 C.F.R. § 104.42). Most institutions are well aware they cannot ask applicants about disabilities during the admissions process. As a result, outright denial of admission based on disability is uncommon.
