University Teaching & Learning Center
Test & Data Scanning
Scheduling
Scanning services are available 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday. Exams are scanned on a first-come first-serve basis. Faculty may leave tests in the UTLC office for later scanning. Tests will be scanned in 24-36 hours and instructors will be notified when the process has been completed. During midterm and final exams, exams always have priority over data collection.
After Hours Drop Off
We have After Hours Drop Off for scanning tests and exams. The drop box belongs to the Cashier's Office and is located in the left wall just before the doors at the north entrance to Mossman or the doors nearest the EUC. Please do not use the Registrar's Drop Box at the doors on the right. Scanning Services will only check with the Cashiers Office if the UTLC Main Office (334-5068) has received a call from a faculty member confirming a drop off the night before.
If using the Cashier's Drop Box, please:
- Secure items in an Interdepartmental envelope.
- Label envelope with instructor’s name & contact information.
- State on envelope that it is intended for the UTLC.
- Place envelope in the Cashier's Drop Box located at the north entrance to Mossman.
- Call UTLC Main Office at 334-5068 and leave a message with the drop off time and date, preferably prior to the drop off. This is important, since Scanning Services will pick up only when notified by the instructor that a test has been dropped off in the box.
If you are using Scanning Services for the first time, or wish to make changes to your existing reports, please stop by the UTLC main office in 159 Mossman Building.
Remember!
The Cashier's Drop Box is for "after hours" drops only and after confirming the drop with the UTLC Main Office (334-5068), preferably prior to the drop off the night before.

The test scanning program can provide an alphabetic listing displaying raw scores as well as means and standard deviations, an item analysis, and a frequency distribution. This information can be exported into an Excel compatible file. The scanners cannot mark incorrect responses on the scantron form.
NOTE: Please do not post grades on a website or in a physical location accessible to other students (door, wall, note board). You CAN enter grades in the Blackboard course management software where students will only see their own grades. See FERPA Guidelines on Release of Grades and GPA Information for more information regarding this policy.
Reports Available - Data Collection and Faculty Evaluations (standard forms)
The only report available from the data scanning program is a raw count of the number of responses for each possible response. Data can be exported to various formats for use with Excel or other statistical packages.
