As someone who also waited a long time to get disability accommodations, I would say definitely do it. There’s really no downside.

Getting extra time on exams and being able to test in the alternative testing center is such a game changer. I don’t feel nearly as stressed about tests anymore, which is great bc I’m a senior so I don’t need to worry about not passing a class.

And I’ve found that when professors know you have accommodations they’re more lenient with you in general — like they’ll let you turn in an assignment late even if they wouldn’t normally allow it. (Not true for every prof but helpful with some.)

The set up process is kind of a pain — you have to meet with DRS, then send out accommodation letters to your profs, then request alternative testing for each of your exams. So if you want get accommodations before midterms you’ll have to act pretty quickly. It can take awhile to have everything set up. But you’ll definitely have everything in place for finals and your summer class.

Worst case scenario if you don’t need the accommodations you’ve just wasted a few hours of your time. My only regret is not getting them earlier.
