Proctor Services
|
Many educational institutions allow students to have exams proctored, especially for those enrolled in online degree programs. Students are responsible for following the procedure and initiating the steps necessary to begin communication between the institution/professor and the proctor. Times available: Tuesdays afternoons from 3:00 – 5:00 Friday mornings from 9:00 – 11:00 The time allowed to take the exam must be during these hours. If your exam is allowed 2 hours, you must begin your exam at 3:00 or 9:00. If these times are not workable, please contact me and other arrangements may be made. Proctoring services must be scheduled at least 1 week in advance of exam date. Students are required to pay .20 per page for any necessary printing done here at the library. This includes exams and proctor instructions. If not provided by educational institution, students are responsible for all required postage. Measures are taken to provide a quiet place to take your exam. Please remember that this is a public facility and I cannot guarantee a completely uninterrupted atmosphere. There are no fees charged for proctoring services, but donations are always appreciated. |

All patrons have access to the internet, free of charge. In our Children's Wing, we have additional computers providing games and interactive software to entertain and educate children. Our facility also offers Wi-Fi for your convenience. We are always here to assist patrons with computer questions. |
