Education after High School
Be prepared to take the initiative on making the most of your education and be aware of your capabilities and limitations. If a 15-credit semester is too stressful to manage, think about taking one less class. Try to create a schedule that is well balanced and manageable.
If you have a diagnosed learning disability, be sure to discuss it with your school’s disability office or guidance counselor early on, to come up with an accommodation plan that will be conducive to your learning style.
Make sure that if you need extra time or a special environment for taking exams that you have letters or other documents from your doctor, nurse practitioner or professional evaluator so that you can show them to your professors. Having supporting documents in hand will make the process of asking your professors to accommodate you much smoother. Learn more about the type of documentation you might need and how to secure it.
