Important Information

When you fill out the application, remember to declare a major (not "undecided") and select a goal of transfer, degree or certificate if you want to qualify for priority enrollment.

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) to be completed by a qualified health professional. 

If you do not have disability documentation, you can download our Disability Verification Packet at https://www.deanza.edu/dsps/pdf/DisabilityVerificationPacket.pdf.
