Proctoring Services

Proctoring Services
Purpose:

One of our roles in supporting lifelong learning is to provide a proctoring service to our patrons to facilitate their ability to take examinations for their online or distance education courses.
To request proctoring: any proctoring requests, communications, or tests should be sent through: proctoring@waynepubliclibrary.org


Policy:

Proctoring examination services is provided for any individual upon request and based on the availability of professional librarians and capability of fulfilling exam requirements. Preferable times to schedule examinations are during regular library hours Monday through Saturday. The Library reserves the right to decline proctoring services to any individual if that request is beyond our ability to administer the exam.

Fee:

There is no fee for proctoring an examination, but the student is responsible for any incidental costs associated with the examination, such as postage or faxing. If the examination is to be returned my mail, the student must provide the prepaid envelope if it is not included as part of the packet.
