University accommodations

CM

Hello!

Realising I’m struggling a lot more than my peers with my university course- I managed to get as far as arranging a meeting with the disability advisors, but I’m worried that because I didn’t need support in my first two years it’s going to be harder to access support now. 

My other issue is that I have absolutely no idea what to ask for (accommodations-wise)! I’ve had access to extra time, but never really thought there were other options out there. This year my exams are in person (and handwritten) for the first time in 6 years. I’ve also noticed I really struggle with deadlines especially when there are multiple coming up (I think because of difficulty switching focus/changing activity) and staying on topic.
Has anyone ever had assessments done as a sort of ‘test of understanding’ interview instead of a written examination? Or could you offer suggestions for accommodations I could ask for? Thank you!

  • It sounds like you're going through a lot with university accommodations, and you're definitely not alone in this. Many students find that extra time for exams and the option to take them in a quieter setting can be incredibly helpful. If you're overwhelmed by lectures, see if your university allows recording or provides notes in advance. Universities often have mentors or support groups that can help you manage both the academic and social aspects of university life.
