Cameron Village Regional Library Proctoring Services


Please note: each branch library may have slightly different guidelines for exam proctoring. Please read carefully.

The Cameron Village Regional Library provides free exam proctoring services to students from educational institutions (colleges and universities) by appointment, as availability is limited. Exams are scheduled Monday through Saturday. However, because of limited staffing, exams are not proctored on Sundays.

All initial proctoring communication is handled by calling 919-856-6703.

To schedule an exam, call 919-856-6703. Please do not e-mail.

Please read through this carefully as you are expected to be aware of all the information contained in this guideline. If your exam does not fit within our requirements, you may need to find an alternate proctoring site.

Proctoring is offered at these times:

Monday–Thursday:
9:15 a.m.  (exams must be completed by noon)
1:15 p.m.  (exams must be completed by 5:15 p.m.)
5:15 p.m.  (exams must be completed by 8:30 p.m.)

Friday
10:15 a.m. (exams must be completed by 1:15 p.m.)
1:15 p.m.   (exams must be completed by 5:30 p.m.)

Saturday:
10:15 a.m. (exams must be completed by 1:15 p.m.)
1:15 p.m.   (exams must be completed by 4:30 p.m.)

Please be prepared to provide the all of the following information:

  • Your name and telephone number
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor name
  • Exam format (e.g., Blackboard, paper)
  • Length of time allowed for exam

Your exam is not scheduled until you speak to a library staff member at the Cameron Village Regional Library and get confirmation of a set appointment time. Once your exam has been scheduled, it is your responsibility to contact your school to arrange for exam materials/passwords to be sent to us and to follow up with us to ensure that we have received the materials before you come in to take your exam.

Proctoring Guidelines

Students should arrive for an exam at the pre-arranged time and be prepared to take the exam at that time. If you choose to delay your test taking, we cannot guarantee the availability of a proctor. Do not come early.

Bring your photo ID, any necessary fees (see below for fee information) and materials for printing/mailing, and any other allowable testing materials (e.g., calculator, pen, pencil, scratch paper, notes). Do not bring anything else. We do not have a safe place to put personal belongings, so please do not bring them into the library at test time.

Fees

  • There is no fee for the proctoring service itself.
  • You must pay for any pages that have to be printed for you to take your exam. Beginning January 2, 2009, the cost will be 25 cents per black-and-white page or 75 cents per color page, payable at the time of the exam by cash or check.
  • If the completed exam or other materials must be mailed to your school, you are responsible for providing postage and mailing supplies. Bring an envelope and stamps at the time of the test.

Online exams

  • We can proctor online exams.
  • If your exam requires you to use specific software beyond the Web browser, please e-mail or call us in advance to see whether we can accommodate your needs.
  • Our security system prevents saving to the hard drive, so please bring a USB flash drive if your exam requires you to save files.
  • Our computers are in a public space, and complete quiet and privacy are not always available. If you are distracted by noise, you may want to bring headphones.
  • If you are taking the exam on a personal laptop, we need to receive approval for this in advance from your academic institution.

Printed exams

  • We can proctor printed exams that are mailed or e-mailed to us.
  • We can fax completed exams to your school, if necessary, but prefer to use a toll-free number to do so.
  • The library cannot guarantee any quiet spaces. We have a quiet study room with individual study carrels that may be available.
  • If your completed exam must be mailed, you are responsible for providing any postage and mailing supplies. Bring an envelope and stamps at the time of the exam.

Restrictions

  • We cannot proctor exams that require us to retain student electronic files on flash drive or on our hard drives.
  • We cannot scan completed exams and e-mail them as attachments.
