Bad grades in college and student diagnosed with a learning disability?

Question

Lets say someone gets diagnosed with a learning disability while in college, Will that make a difference if they got a few bad grades before the diagnosis?

Answer 1

It depends which state you live in. Since the person was diagnosed while in college i think by Law pending which state they live in the grades can be changed to a modified grade of a c-.

Answer 2

I have never heard of a grade being "modified" because of a later diagnosis. Accommodations are never retroactive. Once you talk with someone at the disability services office and get accommodations in place, just re-take the course with your accommodations and try to bring up the grade.
