When I was in college (right around year 2000), I just went into the social services office and filled out some paperwork. At that time, I don't think that I'd even been diagnosed with epilepsy yet. Instead, it had been noticed that my memory was poor & I was in therapy for anxiety. I recall talking with a school psycholgist in there & them determining that I needed 2x time for tests & was also approved to have notes taken for me, if I was interested.
I did use the notes for some classes that required me paying close attention to lecture and also used the extra time for tests. That did come in very handy for me. When I was diagnosed with E, and medication treatment began, the extra time came in much more handy. Very best wishes to you! Try not to worry, they are very nice & understanding in those centers.
