Since transition to higher education emerged as a research topic in the early 1970s,
scholarly inquiry has focused on students without impairments and, what is more,
little attention has been paid to the role of digital technologies. This article seeks
to address this knowledge gap by looking at the university experiences of a group
of first-year students with vision impairments from New Zealand, and the way they

transition-related challenges. The article summarises the findings from a
longitudinal qualitative project which was methodologically informed by action
research (AR). The article explores and discusses scholarly inquiry of transition to
university and introduces a conceptual framework which includes five overlapping
stages, the transition issues faced by the students and the roles played by digital
