Even if you are using CSU NetID Wi-Fi, you are not guaranteed access to the scheduling page on a personal device. CSU’s Wi-Fi is not always stable and does not always create a secure connection to our website. Our site is considered a secure site by CSU and does require a secure connection to access the portal. The best option for logging into the schedule page on a personal device is by using the GlobalProtect VPN.
Additional Information for Faculty
Students must meet with the S.D.C. every semester and provide a letter of accommodation to each of their instructors before scheduling exams online. Students must schedule their exams at least one week (7 days) prior to the exam date and are encouraged to schedule them all at the beginning of the semester. The program will not allow an exam to be scheduled if short of 7 days and students must have S.D.C. approval to schedule it.
Once an exam is scheduled online, you will receive an email indicating the date and time the student entered the exam. This is usually the same date and time the students in the classroom will be taking the exam unless you have made other arrangements with the student to take it at a different time.
At any point, you will be able to login to our online program with your C.S.U. E.I.D. and see the S.D.C. students registered in your class and the students’ accommodations. You will also be able to approve the students’ exam time, provide exam conditions (e.g. scantrons, calculators, notes allowed?) and upload exams. See information below for more instructions.
