Exam Proctoring

Rapid City Public Library is happy to assist students by proctoring exams. When students arrange to have their tests proctored by us we request that the instructor follow these procedures.

• The instructor fills out online form to arrange proctoring, regardless of what type of test.
• Paper tests should be sent to the Reference Services department at 610 Quincy Street, Rapid City, SD 57701-3630 (if password or test is e-mailed it should be sent to proctoring@rcplib.org, if faxed (605) 394-6626) Attn: Public Services.
• Make sure to include a self addressed stamped envelope in which to return the test or arrange for any non US Mail organizations to pick up the test during regular library hours. (eg FEDEX)
• Accuplacer Test takers must arrange to have the passwords emailed to us at proctoring@rcplib.org
• Check with Reference Staff (call 605-394-6139 or email us at proctoring@rcplib.org) to:
• Verify that your test has come into the library.
• Make an appointment to take the test. Bring a picture ID when checking in to take the exam
• If the named proctor is the only one authorized to proctor the test you must be scheduled to take the test when that staff member is available.
• Students should be aware we can only schedule 2 online tests at a time and 4 total test at any one time.
• If taking the test on a Rapid City Public Library laptop, students must return the laptop to the staff member when finished. The laptop should never be left in the study room.
• Take the test in a timely manner in accordance with the school requirements

The Reference Staff will not be responsible for:

• The condition of the test after it has left our possession.
• Making sure the student takes the test on time.
• Remaining in the room with the student
