Proctoring Guidelines:
The Library will:
1. Receive tests for students, provide a librarian to set up the exam situation and sign the appropriate paperwork. However, it is the student's responsibility to contact the library to verify receipt of the test. All tests should be sent through the mail address to: Reference Desk, so that the student is not bound by an individual librarian's schedule for test proctoring. Examinations should be sent to the Library in a sealed envelope.
2. Make the student aware of any specific institutional guidelines (e.g. no notes, no open books, etc.)
3. Provide a study room for test-taking.
4. Send the completed exam back to the institution, but postage must be prepaid by the institution or the student.
5. Reserve a library PC for one hour of use. Reservations may be made up to 2 days in advance.
Note: Wireless access is available throughout the library if the student wishes to use his/her own laptop.
The Library cannot:
1. Provide a locked or secure place for the test.
2. Provide a librarian to monitor the test-taking one-on-one.
3. Provide proctoring to groups of students.
4. Fax completed exams.
5. Accept the receipt of exams via email.
The student will:
1. Call the reference desk to verify receipt of the exam, and make an appointment to take the test and reserve a study room, or computer for that time.
2. Allow sufficient time to take the test before the deadline established by the institution. The library will hold tests for 30 days or the test's stated deadline and if the student does not pick up the test by that time it will be returned to the institution.
3. Come prepared with the necessary or required supplies to take the test.
4. Provide postage if the institution does not.
5. Allow sufficient time for normal mailing.
If the student has needs that cannot be met at the Curtis Library, they may wish to contact Merrymeeting Adult Education (729-7323) or Voc Region 10 (729-6623) who have indicated that they can proctor exams.
