Any colleges courses that require classroom-based coursework only, meaning no homework or papers, I have ADHD ?


I have severe ADHD, i take meds but they are only effective during the day. I have classes and a work study job which means im at school from 9am til 4:30pm everyday (i take an hour long lunchbreak at 2pm). My meds wear off around 5pm so when the time comes to do homework, im most likely cleaning my room, listening to music and watching the tv all at the same time or doing 10 other random things. I start 3 projects at once and rarely finish any of them. I cant sit still or focus on any one thing.


Do you think my college will sympathize with me and offer assistance or could i request courses that don't require homework?

My colleges english comp 101 and 102 dont have homework, everything is done in class so I do very well. Same with biology courses or any course that has a lab, any work required to be completed in class i will do excellent everytime. Im competent and i follow directions and im actually very smart. My class rank in Highschool was 80 of 80, worst in my class, but i took the SAT in 9th grade and received nearly a 1200(math and verbal only). I was a 9th grader taking an 8th grade math course because i failed it the first time but i was also able to get a 630 on math portion of the SAT when i took it in 2003. If i let my school know all this info about me do you think they will understand and make the necessary accommodations?

Basically what im saying is that i need structure, Once im home from school and free to do whatever i want-i cant sit still, so many distractions are around. im 21 years old and i kno it seems totally immature but if i took courses where everything was completed in the classroom then i would have a 4.0 every semester. Every other aspect of my life is great, I just hate homework

Your college should have an Office of Disability Services. You will need to get documentation from your doctor to qualify for accommodations but you should receive some form of a 504 plan. IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) provides guidelines that the ODS should be familiar with.
