| The proctoring
of exams is a service offered by the Easton Area
Public Library (EAPL) at the Main Library to
anyone taking an online and/or distance learning
course. The Library offers proctoring services
based on availability of Reference personnel,
facilities, and technology during its operating
hours. |
| |
| A Library card
is not required for this service and no fee is
charged. However, a valid photo I.D. of the test
taker is required at the time of the exam. |
| |
| The Reference staff
member scheduled to proctor the exam will
receive, sign, and return all exam materials,
instructions, and passwords according to the
educational institution. Reference staff cannot
proctor an exam brought by the test taker. |
| |
Proctors will enforce
time limits or other rules set forth in the
provided exam materials by the educational
institution but will not sit with the student
for the length of the exam. Any devices not
approved by the educational institution (i.e.
cell phones, tablets, smart watches, etc.) will
be held at the Reference Desk during the exam.
Any perceived violation of the posted rules for
the exam will be reported to the educational
institution.
The exam must be completed 30 minutes before the
Library closes. |
| |
| Exams not taken by the
date on which they were to be completed are
shredded. |
