How can I do well in college when I have ADHD?

If you have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and are attending college, it is important to know your rights. Any college or university that gets federal support must reasonably accommodate students who have ADHD.

Knowing this right, you can work with your professors and academic deans to find out what the school can provide for you. For instance, you may receive a longer time in which to take examinations. You may be allowed to have peer tutors or smaller classes to help you pay attention. Also, you may be able to select the courses you want to take and bypass core requirements if you have difficulties with these courses.
