The Request for Accommodation Letters gives permission to the DSPS office to send your accommodation letters to your professors. Please submit a Request for Accommodation Letters 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.
