Saddleback College offers reasonable test accommodations to students with documented disabilities who are registered through the Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS) office.

To receive accommodated testing, you must first apply to Saddleback College’s DSPS office and also meet with a DSPS counselor to help determine eligibility. Eligibility for accommodations is based upon the nature of the disability and the course curriculum.
