Scheduling Exams in MyDAC

  • The DAC Testing Agreement must be completed by your instructor before you can schedule your exams with the DAC.  This link was included in the faculty notification letter that was sent when you activated your accommodations to your course.  
    • If you are attempting to schedule an exam and are met with a message saying the Agreement has not been completed, please reach out to your instructor or the DAC Testing Center
  • From your MyDAC dashboard, click the "Alternative Testing" link on the lefthand side of the screen under "My Accommodations" and select the class from the dropdown menu and follow the prompts.  Carefully read the "Terms and Conditions of Scheduling Exams." 
  • Your instructor stipulates when exams are to be taken in their Testing Agreement.  If you need to take the exam at a different time, you must seek their written permission and forward their approval to drs@wwu.edu.  If you are seeking approval from your instructor for an alternative time, please still schedule the exam for the original time to ensure an on-time request, as this can be modified upon instructor approval.  
  • You MUST reserve a seat in our testing center.  It is recommended that students take time in the beginning of each quarter to submit requests for each quiz/exam/final for the whole quarter to prevent late exam requests.  If you need assistance scheduling an exam, please contact DAC Testing Center Staff 360-650-7977 or drs@wwu.edu.

    • You can always make changes to your scheduled exam requests via your myDAC portal and modifying the specific exam request 
  • Late Exam Requests

    • A quiz/exam is considered late if it is scheduled closer to the date of an exam than the scheduling requirements above. These scheduling requirements are set by DAC policy and your instructor cannot override this policy.

    • If you are scheduling a Late request due to reasons outside your control, such as a pop-quiz, your instructor did not complete the Alternative Testing Agreement in time, etc., please reach out to DAC Testing Center Staff.
