Examination Proctoring Policy
The Norwalk Public Library supports
the goal of lifelong learning. To that end, the library will generally proctor
exams for individuals, subject to the availability of authorized staff and
resources under the following conditions:
- Exams must be scheduled in advance
by the Head of Reference. In the event that the Head of Reference is
unavailable for an extended period, the librarian designated as being in
charge of the department is authorized to make the requested arrangements.
- The library will provide a quiet
room where the student may take a written exam. We cannot proctor online
exams. We cannot provide direct supervision or time discrete portions of a
test at specified intervals, but we can note the starting and ending times of
the entire exam. We will check identification and sign the required school
supplied documentation to the extent possible.
- If the staff person who gives the
student the test materials and records the start time must leave before the
student has completed, he or she may designate another staff member to sign
the required documentation.
- The library will not pay for
postage or other shipping charges. We will not photocopy or keep copies of
exams on file. If the school requires that the exam be returned by a courier
service such as FedEx, UPS, etc. the school must handle the necessary
arrangements for pick up.
- The library cannot accept exams
via fax or e-mail.
- The library cannot commit to
proctoring an entire course of study or single exams requiring multiple
sittings. Requests for exams in series will be treated as separate requests.
- Proctoring requests from schools
or institutions must be approved by the Head of Reference. Requests from
schools charging a proctoring fee will not be accepted.
