Employment

Proctor/Reader/Scribe

Disability Services hires proctors to work during Final Exam Week.
Because of the volume of exams administered during Final Exam Week, Disability Services uses several sites to administer tests. Disability Services hires Proctors to monitor and administer the exams at each additional site. The Proctors attend a mandatory orientation that gives them information on the specifics of a proctoring assignment. The proctor works during Final Exam Week to administer the exams under the supervision of Disability Services.

During the semester, the Disability Services also hires Reader/Scribes to work. A Reader works with the student during an exam and reads the test to a student. A Scribe works with the student during an exam and writes the test for the student. These positions act only in function of being the student's eyes or hands.

Proctor/Reader/Scribe assignments are filled after each test request has been submitted and the test has been scheduled. This allows for a flexible schedule throughout the semester for Disability Services part time employees.

If you would be interested in this part time employment opportunity, please call the Disability Services at 895-0866.
