  4. Create a Gradescope Bubble Sheet Assignment

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.

Note: Gradescope uses US naming conventions for academic terms and will default to the current North American term time. Requests have been made with the vendor to provide Australian terms but in the meantime, staff and students can simply ignore the term name and refer only to the course name.
