More often--the college will offer accommodations within the class--like take home, open book tests, shorter tests--no pop quizzes...extended time, etc. the college should be offering you accommodations within the science class--possibly being able to take the exam in a tutoring center with a tutor to guide you--or taking the exam over 2-3 days, etc your lucky they waived teh math–ADa and 504 do not necessarily require a college to change its course requirements–especially since you do not have a diagnosed Math disability.

Are their any remedial science courses that they would accept. If this is all that is standing in the way of your graduating I am sure they will find a means to accommodate your disability- they want you to graduate too.

If math/physical science is a degree requirement for all students, then the college doesn't have to waive it for you due to your disability. You need to focus on what accommodations might enable you to meet the requirement. That might be modified testing conditions or alternatives to written tests. Think creatively.
