Introduction
This guide was created as a training tool for invigilators employed by Langara College’s Accessibility Services. Accessibility Services is one of the Student Services departments on campus. Accessibility Services works with students with disabilities to arrange support services and facilitate academic accommodations.
The invigilator’s role is to proctor or oversee student exams on behalf of an instructor. Students writing exams with Accessibility Services have exam accommodations to mitigate disability-related barriers. The invigilator helps ensure students receive these accommodations.
This guide was created to help meet three goals:
- Exams meet academic integrity standards and instructors’ expectations;
- Langara students receive their approved exam accommodations; and
- Invigilators understand their job duties and responsibilities and feel confident in the role.
