Abstract	Chronically ill students have been excluded from many conversations about access in higher education. These students have conditions that impact their daily lives and can carry stigma with them, which in turn can impact their academic performance. Additionally, chronically ill students have largely been excluded from the literature in higher education. This study takes a critical approach to understanding how students with chronic illness navigate and describe their college experience at one institution in the southeastern United States. Utilizing critical disability studies as the lens through which to approach the topic and the analysis, this study focused on specific experiences and relationships that chronically ill students had and what meaning was made about their college experience. Through individual interviews in a critical qualitative research design, seven students shared these perceptions. Through thematic analysis, this study found four themes about the chronically ill student experience: the benefit of alternative and flexible learning formats, the importance of skill building, faculty-student interactions, and the need for more community. This study concludes with discussing the implications for policymakers and other institutional actors and the future work that can stem from these findings.
