Okay people listen up I am 67 and have had seizures of all types since I was born. I am a Psychologist, the way I got my degrees was very hard. 1. Take notes 2. Inform your professors of your life 3. Find an friends who is taking the same class 4. Voice Record each class and if you are not able have a friend do it for you. Yes it is a lot of work but it paid off for me and if you are willing it could pay off for you.

Go to the place the school helps people that have learning disabilities. There is a office in every University for that. Epilepsy is or can be a learning disability. When I was in college I was given extra time to finish my exams, I took all of those in a different building so there was no stress, and some acomidations were made for me and everybody else that had a learning disability. I could use my notes, and sometime using a book when taking a test. These were the Universities Laws so even if a professor did not like them they had no choice to follow them. Some professors did not mind that, some really did not. I found myself using a library that has 26 floors full of books. Right now when I have one of those papers in my hands I have to ask myself: Did I really write this? You will rise to challange to do Your college work. If I can with how disorganized I am there is no doubt You can! Good Luck in the Future & remember DON"T give up!

Amen to what Peanuts just wrote! Yes there is an academic advising office in every academic institution. I used my one-on-one sessions to get advice on everything from organizing my time to organizing my school work. I graduated cum laude with her help. You can do this!!

I am currently working on my Doctorate. I had a seizure back in January after making it 10 years without one. I told my instructor what happened and she immediately referred me to the disabilities office. I was given ADA accommodations for my class. Once my neurologist wrote a letter confirming my epilepsy was a chronic condition, I got permanent ADA accommodations. It allows me extra time to complete assignments. I have up to four after the class ends to turn in any assignment without a late penalty. The point I’m trying to make is schools will work with you. We are protected under the ADA.

I am currently back in school for my second career. I like everyone else was told to record the lectures, but I never really used them when I did. I think if I had the live scribe pen it may have made it a bit easier. What I like is online courses because I can pace myself more, and I can go back and rewatch the videos of the lectures as many times as I want.
