In our continued commitment to academic integrity, effective January 2024, Catholic University's office of Disability Support Services Test Proctoring spaces will be under video and audio surveillance. By requesting and taking a Test Proctor session with DSS, you indicate your consent to being recorded.
Please contact DSS by email (cua-dsstesting@cua.edu) with any questions or concerns.
Important Information!
- Each test requires its own request before the exam date
- Requests and changes to a request must be submitted at least 7 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) before the exam
- Comps/HESI exams require 30 days (see below)
- To change the date and/or time of the test, you must cancel your request in Accommodate and submit a new request
- All students are required to begin testing at the same time in order to minimize distractions
