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.
To apply, please submit your handwritten application and your resume to the posting on Handshake or
email them to access@uakron.edu
. Incomplete applications (applications that are not filled out entirely,
not handwritten, and/or not submitted with a resume) will not be considered. Please note that the
office is not currently open to receive applications in person or via campus mail.
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.
