AURORA PUBLIC LIBRARY EXAM PROCTORING POLICY
Long-distance learning programs and some
professions provide opportunities for independent study on the condition that
exams are proctored. In response to this need, the Library may administer exams
in our role of supporting life-long learning. It is the responsibility of the student
and the institution requesting the proctoring of a test to verify that the
guidelines and conditions presented here are acceptable to the institution
giving the test. Library staff will not sign any statement required by the
educational institution inconsistent with our policy or with how the test was
administered. If a proctoring exam has been scheduled, but no staff is
available to administer it or technology problems prevent it, the appointment
will be cancelled or re-scheduled.
Eligibility:
The service is available to all Library
users.
Charges and Costs:
The Library charges a $15 per exam proctoring
fee (effective July 1, 2011). The student is additionally responsible for any
incidental costs including postage, faxing, or supplies.
Administration
Depending on time and availability of staff,
Library staff may administer either written or
online exams.
·
Exams must be scheduled with at least 48
hours notice.
·
Exams will be proctored only at the
availability of Library staff.
·
A valid Minnesota Driver’s License or ID must
be submitted to staff for verification of identity or the test cannot be
proctored.
·
The institutions requiring proctored testing
are responsible for making sure that the Library staff receives the
examinations by the scheduled date and for including clear instructions for the
exam.
·
While the Library can proctor most exams, it
cannot proctor any online exams that require public access computer settings be
modified.
·
The Library is not responsible for completed
examinations which have gone astray due to postal delays, fax problems, etc.
·
The Library will keep no copies of completed
examinations.
·
Untaken exams left in the care of the Library
for over one month will be discarded.
·
Library staff cannot interpret test
instructions for the student nor assist in any technical manner with an online
test.
·
If it is determined that the proctoring
request is unreasonable in its demands or too burdensome to administer, the
Library reserves the right to deny this service.
Adopted by the Aurora Public Library Board 5/18/11; reaffirmed
