[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure they'd know because the transcript is graded classes only right?

I am a college professor and strongly encourage your kid to continue accomodations in college. It will be on them to do the legwork with that office. I see so many young adults think that they no longer need accomodations and it can be a spectacular disaster. Better to have them in place and not use them than to need them and not have them.

I’m the pp with the dyslexic kid with a language waiver. Our HS’s transcripts include required classes that are pass/fail, including health, 9th grade study hall (all 9th graders are assigned a mandatory study hall), and any period enrolled in the academic services center.

DC has academic center (pass) shown on their official transcript in 9th grade (has not needed to be assigned one since then, but all incoming 9th graders who receive accommodations are automatically enrolled for that first year). That along with the lack of any foreign language on the transcript cannot be hidden, so in DC’s case it’s better to briefly and factually disclose the dyslexia diagnosis in the more info section.

Fortunately DC as a very high GPA and isn’t gunning for T10 schools or anything like that, so I don’t think it will be an issue. And honestly, any school that refuses to consider an excellent student who happens to be dyslexic probably wouldn’t be a good fit anyway. [/quote]
