What do we know about ADHD in college students: Academics

Available evidence suggests that students with ADHD who experience sufficient academic success to enroll in college earn poorer grades than their peers, however, some studies have relied on clinic-based samples that may or may not be representative of the general population of students with ADHD.
One study suggested that students with ADHD seen at a university counseling reported GPAs that were one full standard deviation below average, and were more likely to be on academic probation.
Available research suggests that college students with ADHD are less confident than other students regarding their ability to academically succeed.
Students with ADHD perceive themselves as struggling with their study and organizational skills, consistent with previous findings.
As a result of these students with ADHD perceiving themselves as struggling more, they report more problems using study aids, test strategies, and time management strategies than students surveyed with learning disabilities.
