Scantron Services
The Volpe Library can score and provide results for Scantron answer sheets.
Scantron answer sheets ready for scoring must be submitted:
- to a full-time staff member (do not leave them with student workers)
- in an envelope
- with the answer key on top, all sheets face-up, and all sheets turned the same direction
- with an answer key color that matches the answer sheet color
- without stray marks in any area outside of the answer sections
- without staples, clips, extra papers, or folds in the sheets
Your envelope should have the professor's name, professor's email address, course abbreviation and number, and semester/year.
Length of Time to Score:
Results are emailed within 72 hours after drop-off. Scoring results could be further
delayed due to staff availability, closures, and equipment issues.
Scoring Results:
Once scored, results will be delivered via email. Emailed results will be sent only
to Tech email accounts and will be sent as soon as the scoring is completed. Emailed
results will come from scoring@tntech.edu. There will be no scoring marks printed on individual answer sheets. The emailed
reports are in PDF format with the exception of the raw data file, which is in XLS
(Excel) format.
Picking Up Exams:
Please pick up exams within two weeks of receiving the scoring reports via email.
Exams cannot be returned to an instructor or department via campus mail and must be
retrieved in person. Exams not picked up will be destroyed according to Policy 113.
