Student Proctor
Student proctors for the Office of Accessibility serve in an as-needed capacity as readers and scribes for students taking exams in the Office of Accessibility. Student proctors will submit their availability before the start of the semester, with the knowledge that they may be called upon to read and/or write for an exam during the times they provided. Student proctors will be given assignments at least 3 business days in advance, but may have the opportunity to pick up last minute tests. The testing coordinator will begin assigning tests 1 week in advance, and 3 weeks in advance for final exams. All student proctors will be required to attend a training session prior to the start of the semester in which they will be proctoring as a condition of their hire (Monday August 19, 2019 1PM-3PM).
To apply, please submit your handwritten application and your resume to the posting on Handshake, or drop them off in Simmons Hall 105. Incomplete applications (applications that are not filled out entirely, not handwritten, and/or not submitted with a resume) will not be considered.
What is the role of a student proctor?
Student proctors serve as readers and scribes for students who have requested to utilize a reader and/or scribe for their accommodated exam. Student proctors serving as readers will read the exact words written on an exam to a student who has requested a reader for their exam. When serving as a scribe, student proctors will write exactly what a student who has requested a scribe for their exam dictates to them. Student proctors do not provide any additional supports or assistance to students registered with the Office of Accessibility.
