Directions on how to book your test. More information can be found on the TAC home page

Accommodated Testing No Show/Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your testing appointment, please contact the TAC at 650-949-7743 or fhtesting@fhda.edu at least 24 hours in advance. 

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY:
Please note that it is the responsibility of the student who has made or requested appointments in the Testing & Assessment Center (TAC) to inform the center of any cancellations. By not informing the
TAC of your nonattendance, you may be taking a seat away from a fellow student.

Students who have scheduled testing appointments must notify the TAC in the event any of the following occurs:

  • Cancellation of an appointment
  • Anticipated late arrival past the scheduled appointment time (Students may have that amount of time deducted from their exam or extended time)
  • Absence from a scheduled appointment
  • Decision to take the exam in class during the regular class administration of the test
  • Course drop or withdrawal: it will then be assumed that future scheduled appointments for that class may be canceled by the TAC.

No-Show Consequences
Due to hours of operation and staff availability, two (2) unexcused no-shows may result in a student having their testing accommodation services suspended for the quarter.

  • An unexcused no-show is defined as a failure to cancel your appointment at least 24 hours in advance.
    • After two no-shows, students will need to meet with the DRC Supervisor to schedule future testing appointments; this will allow them to understand the reason for the no-show and build techniques to avoid it in the future. Any appointments scheduled ahead of time will be tentative until further notice.
    • This does not apply to appointments missed due to an emergency. If an emergency occurs, please inform the TAC of the circumstances as soon as possible.
  • Any makeup exams must require a valid excuse and subsequent approval from the instructor.
