Basic Optical Mark Recognition (Scanning)
Using the Forms:
Most inks DO NOT reflect, it is highly recommended that only #2 pencil be used.
Scores can be printed directly on the test sheets.
Erasures and smudges are reliably differentiated from valid marks.
Forms are available for purchase at the Dispatch window at the Information Technology Services building in room ITB2176 located on Wilson Road. Click Here for directions to the Network Operations Center (Dispatch Window).
We supply a request form for job submittal, and tracking. This form can be picked up at the Dispatch window or requested through campus mail. The form is easy to use, but if you need assistance in filling it out, ask at the window when you pick up the forms, or Click Here.
Processing includes simultaneously reading both sides of the document, optional verification of data (e.g., checking for omits and double marks).
