Exam Scanning

What is Exam Scanning?

Exam Scanning is a computerized scoring and analysis service for true-false and multiple choice tests, based on a NCS General Purpose Answer Sheet (or Scantron sheet). This service is available for any course offered through the Office of the University Registrar and is also used in the processing of course evaluations.

This service is not for image/picture scanning, nor is it for text scanning. This is for exam scoring and course evaluations only.

How to Get Started

If you are an instructor and you wish to process exams with this service the first step is to prepare in advance by reading the procedures. If you have further questions, contact Jeff Williams in the Exam Scanning office, which is located in Room 015 of the R.B. House Undergraduate Library (hours are 8:00am - 4:30pm); tel: 962-5283; email: jeffro@email.unc.edu. Additional help on exam scanning is also available on help.unc.edu.

For more information on exam scanning, see the Operations & Processing Services Exam Scanning page.

Turnaround time for scanning is two business days. Student grades are then provided over the web.
