Exam Proctoring

Louise asked me to share the reply I wrote to an e-mail (to NP manager, while Louise was out) about proctoring. It's a summary from Pol & Proc, 5.14.

Library staff gladly proctor exams, within certain guidelines.

We can attest that the student stayed within a time limit, but we don’t supervise the student every minute s/he is working. Library staff need to receive a copy of the institution’s proctoring requirements seven days before the proposed test date. Exams must be mailed to us; the student should provide an envelope and postage so we can mail it back. We can complete minimal paperwork to accompany the exam; nothing extensive.

If the test is to be taken online on library computers, the student must be able to complete it in the two hour timeframe all patrons get daily. Computers are available on a first-come-first serve basis.

The County of Henrico Public Library does not charge a fee for this, but can accept a donation if the testing organization or student wishes to make one.

Given those guidelines, let us know if this will work for you and what date(s) you were hoping to take the test.
