This guide provides instructions on how to scan and mark paper bubble sheets using Gradescope.

Note: Use of Gradescope bubble sheets is a UQ centrally supported exam option. 

Note: Gradescope will only work with papers using the Gradescope Bubble Sheet template.

5. Upload student IDs

As the correct student IDs are not transferred to Gradescope you will need to upload them. Having both student names and IDs in Gradescope improves the accuracy rate of matching papers to students.

Note: An update to Learn.UQ (Blackboard) is planned in the future to remove the need for this step.

Note: This step should be done just before uploading papers for marking as the IDs will be overridden if students submit an assignment to Gradescope.
