Our Services

Test Proctoring Services
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 Due to COVID-19
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. If you have a need for proctoring an on-campus exam, please reach out to our office during normal business hours and no less then 3 academic days before the exam is scheduled to be given, as to allow for the review of your request. In some cases, accommodations will be met in the classroom and/or in an online environment. Please reach out to us with any questions.
Please check back for winter quarter office hours.
