Currently-enrolled UF students can reserve a proctored online testing booth. Booths are only available by reservation, and for taking online proctored exams.
Proctoring Booth Uses
- Booths are for online testing only within the designated time blocks.
- Proctoring booths cannot be used for the following: Studying, oral exams, virtual calls, interviews, or meetings of any kind (class, tutoring, etc.)
Reservations
- Reservations must be made by the test-taker. You cannot use your GatorLink login to reserve a booth for another person.
- Reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Reservations can be made up to 2 weeks ahead of time.
- You can only have one reservation at a time. Once your reservation is completed, you may reserve a future time block. If you cancel your existing reservation, you will be able to make another reservation.
- Reservations are available during hours that Library West is open, in set blocks of time that are pre-designated and that cannot be changed.
- Booths are designed for exams that are flexibly scheduled and independent from a fixed testing time and date. These are sometimes called asynchronous exams.
- Due to predetermined blocks for our reservations, these booths may not work for exams with official start and end times. Please check that your selected time slot works for your test.
- Reservation blocks are between 2 and 3 hours duration on Sundays through Fridays. Longer, full-day reservation blocks are available on Saturdays.
- Pay attention to both preparation time and test length when selecting a reservation time.
- Plan for additional time to connect to the online proctoring service and to set up the online exam.
- Proctoring booth keys may be loaned no earlier than 10 minutes before the start of your reservation time block.
Inside the Booths
- Do not unplug and move equipment in the testing booth.
- No food or drinks should be brought into the proctoring booth. Only water bottles are allowed.
