Proctoring Information | Ouachita Parish Public Library

Hey students! Do you need someone to proctor an exam for you? Each of our Library branches offers free proctoring services.

First you will need to fill out the Proctor Information & Agreement Forms. Then read over the Ouachita Parish Public Library Exam Proctoring Policy. Please have your testing instructor read over our exam policy as well to ensure that our policy meets their requirements. These forms must be on file before your exam testing day. An application form may be obtained from any branch or online at this link **Proctor Sheet Info and Policy**

General Instructions:

Library staff must receive the following information before a test is sent to the Library for proctoring: student name, name of institution, and address, phone number & email of student. As a courtesy, the Library will attempt to notify the student when a test is received. However, it is the student’s responsibility to make sure the test has arrived at the Library before their appointment time.

The Library cannot provide proctoring services for exams that students bring in themselves. Exams should be sent directly from the school/instructor to the Library. Exams or exam passcodes can be received by the Library via email, fax, or U.S. mail.

While proctoring services are free, any printing, faxing or photocopying of tests, answer sheets & other paperwork will be charged at the current rate per page.

General Policy Overview:

Proctoring services are available during regular Library hours and must be completed 15 minutes before the Library closes.

Students may take online exams on the Library’s public access computers. Additional time can be extended, if allowed or required by the test rules. The Library cannot make changes to hardware or software to accommodate testing.

Individual Librarians & Library personnel are not assigned to proctor specific exams or students. Exams may be proctored by any staff member, and substitutions may be made at the discretion of the Library. Because of staff schedules, the staff member who begins proctoring the test may not be the same staff person on duty when the test is complete.

The Library will not be responsible for tests that do not arrive on time, those that are interrupted or delayed by Library emergencies, power failures, weather issues, computer or network issues, etc. or for completed exams once they leave the Library’s possession.

Library staff members will observe the student while performing other tasks and assisting other patrons; we cannot provide direct in-room supervision or constant monitoring of the student during the test. The Library cannot guarantee quiet conditions for test-taking. The student may be seated in a public area or a private study room (if available), but there is no guarantee that the student will be under constant observation by Library staff.

To schedule a proctoring session, call or email the Library branch at which you want to take your exam.
