Disqualifier?

[spartan]

Is a learning disability such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia an automatic disqualifer for an athletic candidate into West Point?

 

[MemberLG]

Depends, from the Army Regulation

b. Current or history of academic skills or perceptual defects (315) secondary to organic or functional mental disorders, including, but not limited to dyslexia, that interfere with school or employment, do not meet the standard.
Applicants demonstrating passing academic and employment performance without utilization or recommendation of academic and/or work accommodations at any time in the previous 12 months may be qualified.

So, if you have good grades without academic and/or work accommodations you might get an waiver.

In the school system, those are types of learning disabilities, not medical diagnosis (since they come from school psychologists, not doctors). If a student can function well without accommodations, then the "disability" does not impair the academic performance. If he/she requires an IEP or 504 plan, then that is an accommodation. The fact that the student may/may not be a recruited athlete has no bearing on the DoDMeRB clearance.
