Welcome to the ASC Proctoring Center

The ASC Proctoring Center provides Alternative Testing in a distraction-reduced environment for students with accommodations to take exams and quizzes.

The ASC Proctoring Centers hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 8:00AM - 5:00PM & Friday 8:00AM - 12:00PM

The Proctoring Center can work with you and your instructor to schedule Alternative Testing during operating hours on the Aptos and Watsonville Center Campuses. You should make your request using the MyASC for Students portal. If you have any questions, please contact the proctor at 831-479-6369 or email testforproctor@cabrillo.edu.

Proctoring Center Guidelines for Alternative Testing:

  • Students need to reserve a seat in the proctoring center at least 5 business days (one week) for exams and 10 business days (two weeks) for final exams.

  • Schedule your quiz/exam for the same day and time as your class.

  • No electronic devices are allowed in the testing area.

  • If a student is late to the exam, that time will be deducted from the total time allotted for the exam.

  • Make-up exams need to be scheduled a minimum of three (3) days in advance AND require the instructor's approval.

  • If due to scheduling conflicts, the student is unable to schedule the exam with the Proctoring Center, it is the student's responsibility to make other arrangements with the instructor.

Scheduling Alternative Testing:

To schedule your in-person exams, go to MyASC for Students. See below for instructions on how to submit your exam requests in MyASC for Students or check out these written instructions with screenshots. You can find additional information on our MyASC Training Portal webpage.

Note: You must first request your accommodations for the current semester before you can schedule Alternative Testing.

We recommend speaking with your instructor about your Alternative Testing request before you submit your exam scheduling request through MyASC. Please contact testforproctor@cabrillo.edu if you have any issues with submitting an exam request. In your Accommodation Notification Letter, your instructor is given a link to complete the Testing Agreement. They can also access the Testing Agreement through their MyASC faculty portal.

*Please schedule exams in MyASC at least 5 business days (one week) for exams and 10 business days (two weeks) for final exams.

To schedule your exams:

  1. Log in to MyASC with your Cabrillo College credentials.

  2. Click on "Alternative Testing" in the "Accommodations" menu on the left.

  3. Select your class from the drop down menu. If there are multiple listings (e.g., LAB, LEC), select the one without the asterisk. This usually has the instructor’s testing agreement save

  4. Click "Schedule An Exam". If your instructor has submitted a testing agreement, the exam date and time will auto-fill.

  5. Read the 'Terms and Conditions' on the left side.

  6. Exams must be taken on the same day and time as your class and at the same location (Watsonville classes test in Watsonville; Aptos classes test in Aptos)

    1. To change the date, time, or location, you’ll need instructor approval first.

  7. Complete the "Exam Request" Form.

  8. Scroll to “Services Requested” and check the boxes for your accommodations (e.g., 1.5x time, alternate test location).

    1. Confirm the extended time is correctly reflected (e.g., 60-minute test → 90 minutes).

    2. Optional: Check any technology support you need (e.g., text-to-speech).

  9. Complete the "Late Exam" form if prompted.

  10. Click on "Add Exam Request"

  11. Look for the green confirmation message: “Success: Your action has been completed.”

  12. If your exam time falls outside of ASC proctoring hours, email:testforproctor@cabrillo.edu

*Schedule your exams for the same time as class. If you have a conflict (such as a class right after the test), please refer to the guidelines on the Testing Agreement about when your instructor will allow you to take the exam. We recommend scheduling all exams for the semester early to avoid delays.

Modifying Exams:

If you've scheduled an exam and realize that you have scheduled the wrong date, time, or if your instructor has changed the date/time of the exam, you can reschedule the exam through MyASC. Please note that if the day or time that you are rescheduling for does not match what is approved on the Testing Agreement, we will need confirmation from your instructor about the change before we can approve your request.

  1. Log in to MyASC.

  2. On the left hand bar in the "Accommodations" Menu, click on ‘Alternative Testing.'

  3. Find the exam request you wish to reschedule. Change the request type, the date, the time, or the requested services.

  4. Click on "Update Exam Request"

  5. Even if the request was previously approved, the modified request will need to be re-approved by a staff member.

Canceling Exams:
