I know from teaching students with learning disabilities and other such illnesses, that if you present the diagnosis - from your doctor, on his/her letterhead - with the explanation of the types of accommodations you might need, the school HAS to take this into account. So make sure the doctor specifies this in the letter.
I wish I had done this while I was in college, but who knew back then? My problems with concentration from ADHD and depression had not been diagnosed, so I just thought I was lazy and no good...
Please do this, it will take a weight off your shoulders, and you can enjoy your studies more...
Best wishes, keep us posted,
Wendy
