Responsibilities of Student:

At least 3 business days prior to the the student's first exam of a course, the student shall:

  • Contact the WPL and schedule a time for the test. Unless prior arrangements with the Director or Assistant Director are made, tests will be proctored Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. and must be finished by 5 p.m. 
  • The student will arrange for exam materials and instructions to be sent to the Library

       At least 24 hours in advance of an exam, the student shall:

Responsibilities of Library Staff:

Prior to the student's first exam of a course, library staff will:

  • Process the test proctoring request form filled out by the student
  • Fill out forms required by the institution*
  • Receive any needed information to access the exam and follow reasonable requirements in its handling
  • Respond to requests for reserving private study room or library equipment

       * An individual staff person's signature does not indicate his or her assignment to proctor a specific exam.                            Individual exams may be proctored by multiple staff members.

          At the time of the exam, library staff will, as requested:

  • Provide a space for the student to take the test
  • Verify the student's identification
  • Issue the exam
  • Periodically observe the student if time and other reference desk duties allow
  • Return the completed exam if necessary

       

       The Library is not responsible for exams once they leave our possession.

       The Library is in no way responsible for a student's performance on a test, even if conditions are not optimal, for                test-taking.

       The Library will not keep copies of completed exams.
