Gradescope Bubble Sheets is a paper-based multiple-choice tool integrated with ICON, allowing for online upload and scoring of scanned student sheets. We've gathered some of the most frequently asked questions to help instructors get the most out of this tool. For more details, visit the Gradescope Bubble Sheets webpage.

How do I get Bubble Sheets?

  • Print the forms yourself by downloading the blank Bubble Sheet PDF file found in the Gradescope section of your ICON course.
  • Pick up copies of the Bubble Sheets from the UCC Copy Center. Their staff are also available to assist in scanning exams. Be sure to complete the job ticket.

How do I access my Gradescope course?

Gradescope can be added to any ICON course site.
