Test Proctoring Services

What is test proctoring?

Staff members in the Adult Services Department are available to administer exams from institutions including distance learning centers, colleges and universities and licensing agencies. The proctor will verify identification and ensure that the time limit for taking the test is adhered to, that no authorized sources are used, and that the completed test is returned in the manner specified.

Where does the testing take place?

Tests are administered in the tutoring rooms on the second floor of the library, in Adult Services. The proctor does not stay in the room while the test is being taken.

When is test proctoring available?

A test can be scheduled any time the Library is open. A mutually agreed upon time will be chosen, with evening and weekend times available.

How do I begin the process?

The test taker contacts the Westerville Public Library. He or she notifies the school or institution of the library's address and any other pertinent information. (If needed, the library can provide a signed letter for the institution indicating our role as a test proctoring site.) The test is then sent from the school or institution. When the test is received, the proctor calls the test taker to set up an appointment. After the test is taken and papers are signed indicating that the appropriate procedures were used, the test is then sent back for grading. 

Who is eligible for this service?

Anyone who needs to take an exam through a school or institution that allows for test proctoring. This includes homeschoolers, high schoolers, distance education learners and more. If you are not sure whether you are eligible, feel free to contact us to ask more questions.
