We charge a flat fee of $15 for one test or $50 for one semester of tests. We keep a file for each distance student in our workroom so that all staff can access it. We also expect students to pay the cost to fax or send completed tests back to the school if there is no postage paid envelope provided. (We had one student who would buy the prepaid FedEx envelopes and bring them in). -----Original Message----- From: Marvin Perez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 8:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: How do you handle proctoring?

Approval request for list: <[email protected]> from user: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear fellow CTLS members, Do any of you have written policies for test proctoring? Do you charge a fee? How much? In the past we have been asked to proctor tests a few times a year and it was a simple process. The test was sent to us, a librarian signed the forms, handed the test to the student and mailed it back in the self-addressed postage paid envelope. It was a service we were glad to offer since there is no place else in town that does this. Apparently that simple process is now way to quaint. In the past few months we have received tests by e-mail, fax & .pdf files. One student was ill and by the time he got here to take the test it had to be over-nighted back and a staff member had to scramble to get the package ready and race to the post office to mail it at a cost of $13.50. The student was shocked at the cost but did pay the money back. Another out-of-state-school sent 6 tests that will take their student the next year to complete. We are now responsible for keeping up with test packets until the student need to take his exams. Is this sort of thing happening at your libraries? I believe my librarian has another hat to wear: adjunct professor. Thanks for your help Kathy Carter Fayette Public La Grange
