The Service Request gives permission to the DSPS office to send your accommodation letters (Instructor Notifications) to your professors. Please submit a service request each semester, or if you make changes to classes or accommodations.
If you have questions about scheduling your exams/quizzes for in-person on-campus classes, please call the SCC DSPS Proctored Testing Center at (916) 558-2545.
These exams/quizzes must be scheduled 3 working days in advance, or 5 working days if you require a scribe/reader/computer/CCTV.
Service Request FAQ
Submitting a Service Request is how you receive your accommodations.
- Every semester you are enrolled, turn in the Service Request form at least two weeks before your classes begin.
- It is a good practice to submit your service request as soon as you are enrolled in classes and your schedule is set (i.e. during your priority registration). Please be aware that Accommodation Letters (Instructor Notifications) will be e-mailed to professors no earlier than one week before classes begin.
- If you are turning in your service request after classes begin, allow DSPS staff at least five working days to process your service request.
- If your accommodations include staff (note-takers, scribes, lab assistants, and sign language interpreters, real-time captioner (RTC)), equipment, or table/chair seating, submit this form at least one month before your classes begin.
- DSPS staff will e-mail Accommodation Letters (Instructor Notifications) to your professors and copy you on the e-mail.
