Test Proctoring Guidelines
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, before having the exam sent to the Saint Paul Public Library.
The student needs to make arrangements with the Saint Paul Public Library for a proctored test no less than 48 hours in advance of a possible test dates.
Before taking the exam, the student will be required to present a valid picture I.D.
Limited staffing prevents the library from monitoring the student during the test. The proctor administering the test will be the Supervisor in Charge or their designee. This is not necessarily the person to whom the test is mailed. The Saint Paul Public Library will not release personnel information about library staff to an institution requesting the proctoring of a test.
The library staff cannot interpret test instructions for the student nor assist in any technical manner with an online test. Test takers are responsible for supplying all materials, including paper, pencils, calculators, and audio equipment such as headphones. Library staff cannot sign a proctoring verification that attests to more than they are able to do. Tests must be completed one half hour before the library closes.
The testing institution must send the test to the library. The test can be sent by U.S. Postal Service only. FedEx, UPS or other commercial carriers are not allowed because coordinating delivery or pickup of the test would be labor intensive. Tests must include a postage paid return envelope. The test will be held at a library location for 30 days. When the test is completed it will be sent by U.S. Postal Service on the next business day. A test will not be accepted or returned by fax.
Testing accommodations will vary from library to library. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the facilities are adequate.
Online examinations:
Institutions requesting that a student take an online examination are to realize that the Internet is not considered to be a secure environment. (See Internet Usage Guidelines.)
The library will provide a computer that has Microsoft Word and Internet access. Installation of any special software that may be needed to complete the examination on a library computer is not allowed. If more than 60 minutes are required, the staff may extend the time limit of the public PC workstation to accommodate the exam at the beginning of the session. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the computing resources are adequate for their testing requirements.
Tests will be proctored at the following selected locations:
