Library Proctoring Service Request

Please read the following guidelines, then click the link at the bottom of the page to proceed to the form.


As a convenience for the USF Faculty, the USF Library offers exam proctoring. Proctoring is available all of the hours the USF Library is open.

Proctoring services are available only for individual students during times when USF Faculty cannot accomodate testing due to scheduling conflicts. The USF Library does not offer exam proctoring for entire classes at any time, and the service should not be used in lieu of holding class.

It should also be noted that the USF Library currently has sufficient staff resources to accommodate only one to two students any particular time. As a result, USF Facutly are recommended to plan accordingly for possible delays in service.

Because of the importance of maintaining the integrity of the exam proctoring process we ask you to follow the guidelines listed below to help us help you.

#1 - Each faculty member in need of proctoring is asked to complete the "USF Library Proctoring Request" form, indicating the name of the student, the time the student is expected to arrive for testing, the length of time the student should be allowed to take the exam, what should be done with the exam once it is complete, and any other special instructions the proctor needs for the exam. This form is available on the library web site at http://www.stfrancis.edu/lib/proctor.htm , on the O Drive under global/library/proctor , or, at the reference desk in the library.

Forms should be submitted at least 24 hours in advance of the test time.

#2 - A specific date and start time are required on all requests. If the student does not take the exam within 24 hours of the specified date and time, the exam will be returned to the instructor by the library staff.

#3- The student being proctored will be seated at a table in the reference area and the reference librarian on duty will serve as the proctor. The start and end time of the exam will be noted by the exam proctor.

#4 - Unless otherwise instructed on the Proctoring Request form, the student will be asked to leave all belongings at the Reference Desk, keeping only a writing utensil.

#5 - Proctoring for students with special needs is handled by the Academic Resource Center.
