Students who have approved testing accommodations from DSS are required to schedule tests at least 3 business days (excluding weekends/holidays/summer hours) before the test date with DSS. (i.e. extended testing time and/or separate testing area). NO EXCEPTIONS to the testing policy will be made and late test requests will NOT be accepted. Only students are permitted to schedule test appointments.
Students who make test appointments with the DSS testing office must submit their test request as follows:
If your test day is on:

All test appointments MUST be scheduled and completed during normal DSS business hours. Tests must be taken the same date/time as all other students in the class - any exceptions to this must be discussed between student and instructor and approved by the instructor before scheduling test appointment with DSS. DSS does NOT send out test appointment reminders to students.
