Reports Failing to Email in Scantron

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.

Due to new security restrictions placed on managed PCs at UConn, this process must be completed by IT staff.

Faculty can troubleshoot Scantron report failures.

You may receive a pop-up message if Page 2 (the NetID information page) is dropped into the lower “rejection” bin. This may indicate that the NetID “bubbled-in” on the form is not a valid ID. The system will check the NetID against the LDAP database to determine its validity.

  1. If you receive this error when Page 2 is rejected, check the page to verify that the NetID is correct and the correct bubbles are filled in.

  2. Fix any errors and re-scan the page.

Other Error Messages

If you receive the following pop-up message, the process has failed to email your exam reports to the NetID bubbled-in on Page 2 of the scanned exam, as the NetID does not exist.

  1. Your exam reports, however, are still accessible on the computer. Near the lower-left corner of the desktop, there are shortcut icons. Find the one labeled RemarkTemp.

Once you have verified that your files have been emailed or copied, delete the files from the RemarkTemp folder to prevent these files from being sent to the next person who scans an exam.
