It is important to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses when planning your semester. For example, if reading is slow and challenging for you, it is helpful to balance your course load so that you do not take four courses which have heavy reading demands. This type of self-awareness may be important to share with an academic advisor as you plan a semester course load. All students with LD are fully integrated within every program at Ursuline College. There are no separate classes.
Academic standards are in no way modified.
Many students find that tape recorders are helpful in reviewing and adding to class notes. As a common courtesy, you should speak with your professor about using a tape recorder before you appear in class ready to tape. You may find it helpful to sit in the front of the classroom and use a tape recorder with a counter. When class begins, set the counter at 000. Take notes as best you can.
