Test Proctoring Policy

Distance learning and correspondence courses are a popular way for individuals to complete continuing or advanced education locally and in a cost-effective manner.  The Amherst Town Library supports continuing education efforts by cooperating with educational institutions and local students to provide exam proctoring services in the Library for Amherst Town Library cardholders.

  1.  Exam appointments must be scheduled in advance.
  2. The proctor will meet the testing institution’s requirements whenever possible.  Direct in-room supervision will not be provided.
  3. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure the Library has received the test and/or necessary log-on information in advance of the examination.
  4. Students should be prepared to show a valid photo ID at the time of the exam.
  5. Students should arrive for testing as scheduled and notify the Librarian if unable to keep a scheduled appointment.
  6. There is no fee for exam proctoring.
