Students must contact the library director to approve proctoring.

The student is responsible for verifying with the issuing institution that the proctoring staff and procedure for testing meet that institution’s requirements.    

The student is responsible for providing all proctoring forms or coordinating between the school and the library to ensure the library director has all needed forms and ensure that the library is approved for proctoring with the school.

Scheduling
Once the library director has approved the proctoring, the student needs to schedule an exam time with the library staff at the Circulation Desk no less than 3 days prior to wanting to take the exam.  Exams pending will be kept on file at the Circulation Desk.    

  • Exams may be taken any time the library is open depending on the availability of library staff.  
  • The student will schedule the exam time to end no less than 30 minutes before the closing of the library.
  • If a student requires special accommodation to complete the exam, Information Desk staff must be advised of this when the exam is scheduled; staff reserves the right to refuse to proctor the exam if it causes strain on staff time or operations.
