The St. Charles City-County Library offers test proctoring services for students taking online courses and are required by their teachers/professors to take an exam in front of a proctor/library staff member. Test proctoring services are offered at multiple, but not all branches across the district (see form for available Library branches):
Make an Appointment
Students should complete the Request for Proctoring form at least 1 week prior to taking the test in order to allow for scheduling. If the chosen branch is unable to accommodate the request, a referral to a different branch will be made.
The student is responsible for:
- Making all arrangements with the educational institution giving the test.
- Bringing all necessary supplies, including pencils, pens, calculator, etc.
- Any return postage.
- Printing costs at the rate of $0.10 per page.
A valid St. Charles City-County Library card is required for proctoring services.
Public PCs in branches are not able to download software. If the test requires the use of Public PCs, students are encouraged to test the computers in advance to check for compatibility with the test site/software.
Tests will be administered according to the directions issued by the educational institution.
The Library does not offer continuous proctoring, rather students will be seated in a public area that allows for supervision by branch staff. Students are responsible for communicating this to their institution.
The Library reserves the right to have a representative administer the test if the proctor should become unavailable. Students who repeatedly cancel or reschedule appointments may be denied service.
