I found a "reasonable accomodations" form on my school's website and there's apparently a three step process to get accommodations. You have to attend an information session and go to an individual counseling session so they can assess your needs once you send in the form. It might be different at your school though.

Some of the accommodations they offer include note-takers, recorded lectures, in class aides, and accommodated testing (e.g. testing in a private room and being given a longer time). The last one sounds the best to me, especially if it's a math or science class. I'm not sure what else they offer but I'll try to find out and get back to you once I get through the process if I have the motivation to go through with it Spring term.

At my previous college I know they had a center where people would actually sit you down and read you the text book aloud so you could get through it if you had trouble sitting down and reading if you were dyslexic or had adhd or something. I remember a lot of the people on the football team made fun of each other for taking advantage of that when they didn't really need it.
