Dropping Off Scantrons

Scanning services can now be accessed by dropping off your tests at the Scantron drop-off box located at JBHT 124. There is no longer a drop-off location at the Administrative Services Building (ADSB). All scantrons should be dropped at JBHT 124.  For large batch drop-offs, please ensure that all exams are secured in numbered envelopes before being placed in the dropbox. Or you can email scantron@uark.edu to schedule a delivery to ensure exams are securely dropped off.

Because of COVID-19, we recommend using online testing to help prevent the spread of COVID.

IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that we can only scan the blue (4521) and green (6703)

Things to Remember:

  • The Form:
    • Bring a printed copy of the request form for each copy of the answer key.
      You can also type your responses and then print it.  Just remember that you can’t save the form or submit it by email so be sure to print it before you close the form.
    • Make note of any special grading in the Special Requirements section of the form.
      If there are questions worth different values or bonus questions, please note that in the comments section of the form.
  • The Key:
    NOTE:      We cannot make any changes to your scantron key for you.  If any changes are necessary, you will have to come by ADSB and make those changes.

    • Make sure to include an answer key with the name AAKEY penciled in and bubbled in under the name section.
      This name ensures that when sorted alphabetically this will always appear at the top.
    • Do not photocopy the answer key for multiple sections.
      Photocopies of scantrons do not scan so please create originals for each section.
    • Only use #2 pencil to fill in the bubbles. 
      Ink cannot be read by the scantron machine.
    • Do not make any marks on the scantron outside of the designated areas for responses.
      This can cause an error in the reading of the scantron that requires the test to be hand-graded.
  • Packaging It All Up:
    • Place the scantrons along with the answer key in a manila envelope.
    • Tape the Scantron form to the manila envelope.
    • Write the Instructor’s name, course name, and section number on the envelope.
    • Do not use staples, paper clips, labels or rubber bands on the scantrons or the answer key.
      These things mutilate the form and make it unreadable.
