Sue is registered with the Office for Students with Disabilities regarding her ADHD and anxiety disorder and has received appropriate accommodations. Sue has provided a letter from the OSD office to each of her instructors.

Recently Sue was dropped from her parent's medical insurance because she is no longer considered to be a full-time student. She stopped taking her medications and has become increasingly disruptive in class.
