I am taking two classes a semester. I find them to be hard for me. I have a mild mental disability and I don't like to study. I have a disabilities coordinator, but it seems to me like she isn't there to help me all that much. I don't really know what to do.

" I'm sorry you're having a lot of trouble.

I know with my school, which is leading in helping disabled (mentally and physically) students is a little less effortless during the summer.

For instance I took health and fitness ( a requirement basically it's gym) but I have a bad back but because I was doing it over the summer they could only help me so much, what helped was my instructor was cool.

But Jen you may want to rethink two classes, are they advanced (I mean like instead of like 14 weeks they're only 5 weeks?) courses? If so that's a lot for anyone, I'm only taking 1 each summer session because it's only 5 weeks long each and I think anything more would be too tough.

I don't know your situation so you may need to take these 2 courses, if not try to drop one. If that's not an option see if there's anyone locally who could help tutor you or find friends who have taken those courses and maybe able to help you.

I hope this helps! "

" Do you have free tutoring at your school? I know at my old university we had a whole building dedicated for anyone who needed special help with their work, I used them because of my depression. Their should be someone to ask, maybe even just one of your professors. "

" I suggest talking to some of the students in your classes and see if they can help in anyway or maybe be a study buddy! You will probably need extra time to study and to get things done, so make a schedule and follow it to the T. Good luck, I hope everything works out! "
