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.
• Test proctoring is only available at Woodbourne Library during the renovation.
• However, the Library cannot guarantee proctoring services with all schools/businesses.
