Library West has ten proctoring booths available for reservations for currently enrolled UF students. The proctoring booths are located on the southwest side of the 2nd floor.
- Booths are only to be used by currently enrolled UF students for taking online proctored exams.
- Booths are designed for exams that are flexibly scheduled and independent from a fixed testing start time. These are sometimes called asynchronous exams.
- Reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Reservations can be made up to 2 weeks ahead of time.
- Reservation blocks are pre-designated and cannot be changed or adjusted.
- Students may only create one reservation, for a singular time block, at a time.
- You must show your reservation approval email at the Library West 2nd floor Circulation Desk to get the key for your proctoring booth.
- All reservations are reviewed by staff members.
Submitting a Reservation
- When you create a reservation, it is submitted to our staff for review. You will receive a confirmation email that your reservation was submitted.
- If your reservation is approved, you will receive a separate approval email. This is the email you must show to receive your key at the Circulation Desk.
- If your reservation does not follow our policies, your reservation will be cancelled, and you will receive an email indicating your reservation was denied.
Booth Equipment and Features
- A computer workstation on the UF network.
- A webcam. The cord is long enough so that you can remove the camera from the monitor and show the proctor the entire testing space.
- A door that closes for testing privacy.
- Booths do not have headphones or speakers. If audio is required, you will need to bring your own headphones.
- Booths are not soundproof. If you find ambient noise distracting, please bring your own earplugs. The booths are located in a semi-quiet area of the 2nd floor, but they are not soundproof.
- Booths do not have ceilings; they are enclosed by four walls only.
- Respondus Lockdown Browser, Honorlock, ProctorU, and Tegrity are installed on the workstation for your use.
