Proctoring

The Plainsboro Library provides exam proctoring services for anyone pursuing a traditional college degree, distance learning, or certification in a trade or specialty.

Fees:

Students must pay $25.00 by cash or check at the time of the exam.  The service must not involve any direct cost to the Library.  Students and/or school administration are responsible for providing postage and any other expenses incurred.

Guidelines:

  • Students who need a proctor must complete a proctor request form at least one week before the exam date. Arrangements must be made in advance, so there is adequate time for the delivery of the exam.
  • Library staff will determine whether they have the available resources and/or can meet the technical requirements to proctor an exam and may decline the request. At any time, the Library may deny a request if there is no staff available.
  • Proctoring will be executed by Plainsboro Public Library Reference Librarians or Reference Assistants. Students are responsible for contacting their institution to ensure that the library staff proctoring the exams meets the criteria set by the institution.
  • Students are responsible for arranging the delivery of the exam. The Library cannot make arrangements for you.
  • Exams must be completed one hour before closing.
  • The Library can provide computers for online tests.
  • Library staff must attend to other duties and cannot be expected to oversee the test taker at all times.
  • Students must bring a photo ID for verification at the time of the exam.
  • Plainsboro Library cannot be held responsible for lost exams, technological difficulties, or other emergencies.

Some institutions require a proctor form to be filled out. Please email the form to plibrary@plainsborolibrary.org at least one week in advance of the exam.

Please notify the reference desk, 609- 275-2898, if you need to cancel or reschedule your exam time.
