Exam proctoring is a service provided by the Pendleton Community Public Library for individuals taking online or correspondence courses. 

Each student will be assigned to a proctor, who is responsible for making a reasonable effort to insure that the student is behaving ethically while taking the exam. In most cases, a student will be set up in a quiet area of the library where he/she can be monitored. Proctors can insure that students are not interacting with other people or using handheld devices. However, proctors will not monitor a student's online activity while taking a computerized exam. 

It is the student's responsibility to make advance arrangements with his/her instructor to insure that the proctor has the necessary information to proctor the exam. Logins, password, etc., must be received by the proctor at least one day prior to taking the exam. The library requires 48 hours notice for each exam being proctored. This advance notice is necessary so that the library can reserve acceptable space, plan for staff time, and secure a laptop if, needed. If advance arrangements are not provided in accordance with this policy, the exam will not be proctored. Students who fail to keep appointments made with their proctor will lose future proctoring privileges. 

Exam proctoring is a free service to students who live or attend school in the library's service district and individuals with Public Library Access Card (PLAC).  Individuals who do not live or attend school in the library's service district will be charged $10/exam.  The $10 fee applies each time an exam is proctored, including re-taking an exam that was already proctored.
