Test Proctoring Service

• Test proctoring is testing overseen by an authorized neutral proctor who ensures the identity of the test taker and the integrity of the test taking environment.
• Reference staff at either location are able to provide proctoring services.
• However, the Library cannot guarantee proctoring services with all schools/businesses.
• For additional questions, contact the Library Reference staff.

The library will:

• Proctor written and online exams in accordance with directions, policies and guidelines supplied by the school as conditions allow.
• Provide a testing location in close proximity to the Reference Desk.
• Make every attempt to contact the student when exam has arrived. The student is ultimately responsible for confirming that the exam has arrived.
• Maintain a personal file for the student which will contain all testing materials until one month after the designated testing date.
• Return tests via mail or email at the student’s expense.
• Reserve the right to refuse a proctoring request if the requirements exceed our capability.
