Abstract

This research explored the perception of self-efficacy in transfer students with disabilities (SWDs) after an individualized, one-on-one orientation with the Office of Student Disability Services at Port City University. Using a phenomenological approach and purposeful sampling, the study obtained data through semi-structured interviews with transfer SWD registered with the Office of Student Disability Services. This study utilized seven participants' responses concerning their experience with the individualized orientation as related to their perception of self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological analysis. Interview transcripts were then reduced into themes that highlighted the individualized orientation essence. The findings from the research showed that the factors related to the individualized orientation with the most influence on participants' self-efficacy were preparation for success and support of accommodations. The findings, considerations for future research, and limitations were discussed.
