Scheduling ASC Proctored Exams (Alternative Testing)

Remember to schedule your ASC Proctored Exams:

After you request accommodations, your instructors must complete the Proctoring Center Testing Agreement and add exam dates to the MyASC Portal. After the instructor does their Agreement, you will need to schedule your exam appointments to use the Proctoring Center for your exams. Click on this ASC Exam Scheduling Video Tutorial to learn how to enter your exam dates.

Here is the written procedure for adding exams to the ASC Proctor Schedule:

  1. Log-in to MyASC

  2. Go to the Alternative Testing tab on the left side of your MyASC Dashboard

  3. Find your class (only available if the instructor completed their Testing Agreement) in the pull-down menu

  4. Locate the exam date options

  5. Choose the exam dates to schedule and complete the scheduling process

  6. You should see an exam request confirmation green check mark to show you did it successfully!

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students have a right to equal access under Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (title 2). It is recommended that students work with the ASC Team and the Director to receive the appropriate accommodations.

Student Grievances/Complaints: If a student has a concern regarding services or accommodations and feel their needs are not being met, the student may file a grievance or complaint. The first step for students is to speak to an ASC faculty member to attempt to resolve their grievance. If that outcome is unsatisfactory, students should then contact the ASC Director. If the complaint remains, students may use the Just Report It! system to file a grievance or contact Cabrillo’s ADA Coordinator. All students, regardless of disability status, are responsible for following the prescribed college procedures as outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.
