Welcome

Accommodation for classroom testing provides an equal opportunity for students with verified disabilities to demonstrate mastery of the course objectives and take required course exams or evaluative assignments. 

Accommodated Testing For completely online courses: We have asked your instructors to please be flexible and build extra time accommodations into their online quizzes, exams and finals. You will not need to schedule an appointment with our office. 

On-campus proctoring is currently by appointment only: If you have a need for proctoring of an on-campus exam, please reach out to our office during normal business hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8am-12pm on Friday) and no less then five academic days before the exam is scheduled to be given, as to allow for the review of your request.

If you are a student or faculty member who needs support or has questions regarding accommodations through Canvas or Zoom, please email dsstestproctor@deanza.edu.
