I get extra time on tests and low distraction environment

I did identity myself as a student with a disability. Also I do not pick my courses the school of nursing does that.

A bit more background on the situation I am a pediatric cancer survivor and as result of my treatment I have memory deficits which change the way I process information. This semester, the school of nursing decided to take OB nursing and Pediatric nursing and block them into seven weeks. The previous semesters (including spring 2015) these courses were taught over the entire semester (14 weeks). The course consisted of two tests and a final exam. Because of the nature of the course, I was not able to absorb all the material in time for the tests. I think I could of benefited from more time to learn the material, and more structured synopsis of the course expectations. I did have enough time to organize the information in way that I could learn it well enough to succeed. The school should have made allowances to ensure that all students had access to the course information ahead of time to accommodate different learning styles. I feel discriminated against because when I spoke with the dean, she simply stated the rules of the university stand. I expected her to take my disability into consideration and maybe offer resources on how to succeed in the future. She thought I was asking her to change my grade, when I wanted to find out how to work around my disabilities. I had already spoken to my professors, the counselors at the school prior to meeting with the dean. I feel like I have run out of resources and Im not sure who to talk to next

I recently failed ( got a C-) a course because I have a learning disability. I understand that it is important to have full competency to be a good nurse and I need the information to do well on NCLEX, however when I presented my case to the dean. She did not take my learning disability into consideration. I did receive accommodations however, I feel like I did not have the resources to do well on the course. I used all the resources the school had available ( counseling, tutoring etc). I am not sure where to go from here. Do I just let things go and retake the class?

Hi, I am a second degree student and I am trying to get into the program at East Carolina University for Spring 2015. Right now it looks like I will have 11 points on the scale however I scored below 50 on one section of the PAX however I did score far above average in the other sections. Do I have a decent chance at getting in? Also if you have not completed A&P II will they still give you the 2 points not having any repeats? Does anyone know what the avg gpa for spring? I am working on getting my CNA does anyone have any other pointers? Thanks
