Tip

Do you want to help shape the future of bubble sheet scanning at UConn?

ITS is piloting bubble sheet scanning through Gradescope, which may replace Scantron for bubble sheet scanning functionality in the future. Gradescope provides a more convenient scanning solution that does not require expensive and custom scan sheets, and can be managed entirely through HuskyCT.

This article is for faculty who need to troubleshoot issues with Scantron.
