Test Proctoring 

Test proctoring, a service offered by our library, is the oversight and administration by one of our staff of a test or exam taken by a student at our facility for credit at another institution, such as a university.
 

• The Wells Branch Community Library offers test proctoring on any weekday the library is open.

 

• Only staff members working four or more weekdays per week can serve as proctors, to assure availability to the test taking patron.

 

• Patrons must make an appointment with one of our proctors to complete whatever paperwork is required by their institution.

 

• Most institutions require that the same proctor administer all the tests for a student during a given semester. Additionally, each patron’s situation and the requirements of his/her institution will be unique. For these reasons, the patron must commit to testing with the same staff member at every session. This staff member is alone responsible for keeping information and appointments regarding the test taker.

 

• A manila file is kept for each patron currently having tests proctored. This file includes all relevant information for their proctoring, including correspondence from the academic institution. This file is dated on their first appointment, and is kept for three months. Due to employee turnover, it is the responsibility of the test taker to verify that their proctor is still available.

 

• A fee of fifteen dollars is due for each test taken, at the time of its taking. Patrons may be asked for reimbursement for costs to the library on account of the proctoring  when the costs are extraordinarily high (such as costs from mailings, faxes, etc.).
