UA's CrossingPoints Program provides opportunities for three tiers of students with disabilities, with Tier 1 students — age 18-21 — being those with significant disabilities who are still receiving services during the academic year under the the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

Tier 2 or the Summer Bridge Program is a postsecondary pipeline program for college-age students over the age of 19 with intellectual disabilities, while Tier 3 students participate in a non-degree certificate program for young adults with intellectual disabilities who are interested in receiving further post-secondary education at The University of Alabama.
