Pleasant Hill Assessment Center

It is very important to understand that DVC has two campuses. If you schedule an assessment from this page, you are scheduling an appointment at our Pleasant Hill campus. Please note that you cannot take the assessment at DVC for use at another college.

Before scheduling an appointment make sure you have:

• submitted a current application to DVC,
• received a student ID number *,
• completed online orientation.  After you receive your student ID number, you should complete the online orientation (también está disponible en español.) The orientation will provide you with important information about student services, the online student portal, programs, procedures and policies.  

*Once you have received your student ID number, it may take up to 48 business hours for you to be able to make an appointment.

If you require extra time or other accommodations for a disability, please register with DVC's Disability Support Services office before scheduling an assessment (Student Services Center, room 248, phone: 925-969-2185).

Day of testing make sure you:

• arrive to the Assessment Center 10 minutes before your appointment,
• if driving to DVC’s campus, purchase a day parking pass for $3 at one of the kiosks in the parking lot,
• bring your physical photo ID (Driver's Lic., school ID, passport etc.),
• have your DVC student ID number memorized or written on a piece of paper.
