JMU Transitions from Scantron to Gradescope Bubble Sheet

Posted September 11, 2025 in Educational Technology News, JMU Libraries News

As of May 2025, JMU has officially transitioned from Scantron to Gradescope Bubble Sheet. Scantron services are no longer available, and the IT Test Scoring Services have been permanently closed. 

Gradescope is a robust assessment platform that enables instructors to grade exams and assignments more efficiently and consistently across students and sections. The Bubble Sheet feature is part of this platform.
