It really varies from school to school. My school did a very personalized assessment, asking me what I thought was needed, and worked to make that happen. Your list also includes a space for "other" which, I'm assuming, means you can request things not on the list. For me, extended deadlines on assignments and extra excused absences was very helpful while I was trying to deal with my depression and anxiety. I'm sure if you thought of something that would be helpful, they would be willing to meet with you and discuss it. They might not be able or willing to make that happen, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't then bring it up with each professor individually to see if that professor would be willing to work with you. Most professors want their students to succeed and are willing to go great lengths to make that happen if they see you are genuinely trying. Another common accommodation I've seen is fewer credits for full time status. Also, test accommodations can mean taking tests by yourself, having more time, or sometimes using a computer to take tests.
Thanks for this!
