I took speech in college a few years ago. It really depends on your professor and you. I talked to mine the first day to let him know I stutter. They are usually understanding and will offer alternatives like recording yourself at home. I chose to take the class like normal. I took it as a personal challenge to get through it. Ultimately, I am glad I did. Giving the speech sucks, but after the class was over I cared less about my stutter and had actually improved my speech patterns. In the end it is up to you. Also, if your stutter is severe enough you should be able to work through the school. I hate referring to it as a disability, but sometimes that is how it is. I think it would be best to let the teacher know, then try to take the class as normally as possible. Heck, it may even improve your day-to-day speech.
