Hello!
I have been learning Japanese throughout the year. On the website I had been learning from, it said that is pronounced "Dess". Though however, in some of the subbed anime I've watched, they pronounced it "Desu" (Dess oo) on some occasions. I've also switched programs, and they use both "Dess" and "Desu" on different occasions.
So... is only one of these right? Are both acceptable? If not... which do I use? Thank you in advance for any information!

Both are acceptable but in Japan we say 'dess' more commonly.

yes, i think you're right... its mainly pronounced "dess", thats how my japanese teacher taught us, but its also ok to pronounce it with a very quick "oo" (sounds like its cut short), don't put too much "ooo" into it.. i hope that makes sense...

Both are acceptable. It just depends on where you're from in Japan, some people pronounce the "su" part of a word and some do not.

Yes, both are acceptable. "Dess" is more common tough.

"Dess oo ""is pronounced by some young girls when for example they are coquettish.
