The purpose of the Exam Proctoring Policy is to establish guidelines for students who want to take a proctored exam at the Northborough Free Library.
The library staff is able to proctor exams under specific conditions:
- Staff cannot monitor or directly supervise the student during the duration of the exam (online or print).
- Proctoring cannot be done outside of library hours. All print proctored exams must be completed 15 minutes prior to closing to allow staff time to scan and email the finished exam.
- Proctoring services must be scheduled with the library in advance and are based on scheduling availability.
- Proctoring services may be administered by any library staff on duty.
- Personal belongings cannot be left with staff.
- Staff will not be responsible for setting up the room or equipment in advance.
Where can you take your exam?
You can take your exam anywhere where seating is available in the library, with the exception of the Teen Room and Children’s Room. Individual study rooms are available upon request and may be reserved ahead of time.
Requesting a Proctored Exam:
- Contact the Reference Desk at noboadults@cwmars.org or by phone at (508) 393-5025 ext. 3 to schedule your testing date. You can reserve an individual study room, wifi hotspot, laptop, and/or headphones at the same time.
- Need your test printed? Ask your instructor to email the exam and any instructions to us to noboadults@cwmars.org at least two days before the exam date with the subject:

After the Exam:
Staff will scan and email the completed exam to the appropriate person/entity. If the exam needs to be mailed in, the student is responsible for providing the proper materials and information to staff.
