The Library will provide this service under the following conditions:
  • Appointments are required for test administration and can be made by contacting the Reference Desk at 860-628-0947 x5 or [email protected].
  • The Library must agree to receive the exam. When contacted by the student, the Library will arrange a time for the exam to be taken.
  • Students need to present a current photo ID upon arrival on the day of their exam. The name on the ID must match the name on the exam the student is registered to take.
  • The student must not require supervision while taking the exam. The Library is unable to provide one-on-one monitoring of students.
  • The student must understand and be aware that the library environment and noise level will vary. The Library is unable to determine or predict the noise level at any given time or day.
  • The student must understand that they can only utilize the areas of the library that are open to the public to take the exam. The Library does not provide any special rooms for students to take exams.
  • If the exam is to be taken online, then the student agrees to the Library’s public computer use policy.

Students may use their own laptop computers to access the Library’s wireless network and take their exam. 
  • If the student must take the exam online, the Library is not responsible for any failure to connect, loss of power, or other interruption to the test taking process.
