Starting to think about college and wondering what factors you should consider when you have celiac disease? We have the information you need.

We’re hosting a special session for high school students with celiac disease and their parents. Whether you’re just starting to think about colleges or narrowing down your options, this session is for you.

What We’ll Cover: From exploring different type of college environments, to evaluating dining options and campus resources, to final enrollment decisions – we’ll walk through each step of the process with celiac disease in mind.

What Makes This Session Special: We know parents and students have different questions and concerns. That’s why we’ve designed separate breakout sessions where you’ll connect with others and get your questions answered.

Important Registration Details: Parents and students must register separately to ensure you’re placed in the correct breakout room. Each registration will provide a unique Zoom link.

Please note: This session focuses on the college search and selection process. We’ll be offering a separate session later for students who have already been accepted and need to prepare for their arrival on campus.
