The Library reference staff will serve as proctors for exams taken by distance learners within the following guidelines:
- Proctoring is a free service.
- We require at least 2 weeks’ notice to schedule a proctored exam.
- All test taking requirements must be received from the issuing educational institution before any tests are taken.
- Exams will be scheduled during normal library hours of service.
- Proctoring consists of:
- Checking identification of the student taking the exam.
- Noting the time that an exam was started and completed in the Library.
- Signing the required school supplied documentation.
- Examinations will be taken in a quiet area of the Library.
The exam proctor will be the librarian in charge at the time the exam is taken. For mailed exams: staff will seal the envelope of the completed exam and place in library outgoing mail. For emailed exams: staff will scan completed exams and email them to the appropriate party.
The library does not keep copies of completed exams.
Student Responsibilities:
- It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the library’s computing resources are adequate for their test taking requirements.
- It is the student’s responsibility to confirm that this proctoring policy meets the requirements of the institution giving the exam.
- Completed exams will be returned to the testing institution via the U.S. Postal Service in postage paid envelopes provided by the student or institution, or scanned and emailed if that is preferred.

Be aware that we require at least 2 weeks’ notice to schedule a proctored exam. While we try to accommodate all requests, if your exam needs to occur in less than 2 weeks, please contact another library or center about proctoring services.

GED Testing Location
The library has been a GED testing location since 2023. We are not an authority or part of the GED program. The library is only a test location.
