Testing is done on a first come first served basis, there are a limited number of testing spaces available, and you may not be able to take your test at your desired time without an appointment.

We will do our best to accommodate your appointment however, due to staffing or other circumstances delays or rescheduled tests may be necessary.

Where?

We are located in the Learning Resource Center of the Eureka's campus Library. Once you enter the library, turn left and walk through the partition to find us!

How?

 You will need a photo ID and student ID number to check in.

We have spare calculators, pens, pencils, scratch paper, scantrons, and fidget toys you can borrow. But feel free to bring your lucky pencil!

SASS (formerly DSPS) Accommodations

At College of the Redwoods, students who have professionally verified disabilities are eligible to receive educational support services such as testing accommodations. Accommodations provided to students with disabilities vary, depending on the student's particular educational limitations as well as by what is available at each individual campus.  SASS students who have approved testing accommodations are welcome to take their exams in the ASC. 

To receive these accommodations, SASS students need to have a current test-proctoring card, signed by their instructor(s), on file in the ASC. Typical accommodations we provide are extended time, distraction-reduced testing modules, Kurzweil, and use of a computer or other technologies. 

Students desiring accommodations and/or services should contact Student Accessibility Support Services (SASS) for support at 476-4280. 

Testing modules may be booked up to one week in advance either in person, email, or phone (707) 476-4154. Students with a module accommodation are recommended to reserve a room in advance since there are only 2 testing rooms.
