Testing Center Procedures

The Office of Student Disability Support Services (SDSS) has a Testing Center for students with approved testing accommodations. It is recommended students with testing accommodations schedule an appointment at the SDSS Testing Center. The SDSS Testing Center will ensure all approved accommodations are met while taking tests and exams.

It is the responsibility of the student to arrive on time for their testing appointment and all students will be proctored.

Testing Center Procedures
