Barriers re-entry women often encounter as they attempt to use basic support services at colleges and universities are described, and ways in which the accessibility and quality of such services may be improved are suggested. The following services are covered: information services, transportation and commuter services, housing and food services, medical insurance and health care services, student employment and graduate placement services, legal services, and extracurricular activities. A wide range of possible actions, many based on currently operating programs, is cited so that institutions can pursue those most appropriate to their individual circumstances. Information on Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 is included. It is concluded that through careful coordination among support service offices, dissemination of information, and periodic self-evaluation, an institution can provide more accessible support services to all students and be responsive to the special needs of the growing re-entry population. A selected list of resources is included, along with a field evaluation questionnaire for the draft of this paper. (SW)
