Test Scanning Options
Overview
Remark Test Grading is the sole UToledo-supported test scanning option.
Remark Test Grading – *New Process
Users have cloud-based individual accounts. No central location.
Scanning Process:
Use any scanning device and upload file with test results to an individual account.
*New requirement: All tests are required to be created using the Remark software because a QR code is now needed when test scanning.
- Create your test by logging into your account at https://grading.remark.cloud/*
- Go to any Xerox device on campus and log in with your ID Card or UTAD Credentials
and select Scan.

- Select Remark Grading from the list.

- Remove the checkmark next to Prompt for more pages. You can also change the Subject and Filename of the test, if you prefer. Place the exam sheets on the scan feeder and hit start.

- After you finish scanning your tests, make sure you log off the Xerox device.
- The test results will be available at https://grading.remark.cloud/ under your Remark account.
Note - Some options can be customized, but File Type, DPI, and Color Mode will always
be locked.
