ITS offers Optical Mark Reader (OMR) grading services using an OpScan 8 scanner and Remark OMR Classic Grading Software. This service supports instructors by processing bubble-sheet assessments and delivering a variety of analysis reports. While most users will not need direct access to the grading system, faculty can drop off grading jobs at the ITS Service Desk in the Library.
