How to Become a De Anza College DSS Student

At De Anza College, we've made it easy to apply for admission and qualify for priority enrollment, so you can get the classes you need to achieve your goals. In order to receive your disability-related services and accommodations at De Anza College, you must first complete these steps:
 

College Application

De Anza uses the statewide application system known as OpenCCC. OpenCCC is a service of the California Community Colleges Chancellor' Office. You must become a De Anza College student by completing the college application and receive your 8 digit campuswide ID (CWID) number and password to access the college’s MyPortal site.

Processing Time: 
Please allow 5-6 working days for processing your college application. There may be a slight delay of an additional day or two if Admissions and Records needs more information to process your application. Students will be contacted if that becomes necessary.

Remember!

Due to California state regulations, not declaring an Educational Goal/Major of obtaining a degree or certificate will result in you receiving a late registration date. This means you will be issued the last date to register for classes. Also, if you do not choose an educational goal/major, you will not be eligible for financial aid.

If you want to qualify for priority registration, remember to do the following  when you fill out the application:

  • Declare a major (not "undecided") and
  • Select a goal of transfer, degree or certificate 

For more help, visit the page on Tips for Completing the Application.

DSPS Application

De Anza uses the Clockwork data management system that streamlines and simplifies access to student information. Disability documentation must be uploaded with the DSPS application in Clockwork. Please upload one of the following documentation: IEP, 504 plan, IPP, or DVF.

Types of disability documentation:

  • Individualized Education Program (IEP)
    From high school that verifies your diagnosis
  • Section (504) plan
    From high school that verifies your diagnosis.
    Other documentation may include a psychoeducational report
  • Individualized Program Plan (IPP)
    From San Andreas Regional Center (SARC)
  • Disability Verification form (DVF)
    Completed by a qualified health professional

If you do not have disability documentation,
