• Verify with both the school and library that all testing materials have been received by the library at lease 48 hours prior to your test.

• Bring a picture ID, student ID, pens/pencils and a basic calculator if required.

• Provide addressed envelopes and money for postage and printing if required for returning completed test results to school.

• Pay a (.25¢ color - .10¢ B/W) per page charge for printing, in cash, for print jobs.

Homewood Public Library (HPL) will not accommodate requests for unscheduled proctoring.

The library will:

• Provide a laptop, if needed, for the student to use for online testing.  However, we will not download testing software that is not compatible with our network. 

• Check the student’s photo ID.

• Maintain a file for the student that will contain all the proctoring request and a copy of student's photo ID for 2 months after the designated testing time.

• Forward tests via e-mail or mail at the student’s expense.

Limits to Proctoring Service:

• HPL will not proctor an exam brought in by the student.

• Testing only occurs during the weekdays Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 10:00am- 2:00pm.

• The library does not provide fax services.

• HPL cannot guarantee that technical problems will not occur when using the library laptops.

• HPL cannot guarantee a quiet place, as we will be conducting tests in an open public area.

• HPL will not be responsible for tests that are interrupted by library emergencies, power failures, or computer issues.

• HPL will not be responsible for any delayed tests, or for completed tests once they leave the library’s possession and have been sent to the school.

• If test results/materials are to be returned to the school by mail, HPL will send them promptly but cannot make a guarantee that the testing institution will receive them by a specific date.
