OIT to change processing time for Optical Mark Reading Services on Aug. 16

Due to an increase in service demand, OIT Optical Mark Reading (OMR) Services will change its processing time to scan exams and quizzes from 24 hours to two business days. This change is effective Thursday, Aug. 16 with the beginning of fall semester.

OMR supports nearly all of the university’s Scantron-based (bubble sheet) exams and quizzes, faculty and course evaluations, and surveys. Faculty and staff who use this service should plan accordingly for this change and for high volume periods such as midterm and final exams.

OMR will continue to process faculty and course evaluations within three to five business days and most surveys within five to seven business days. The processing time for customized surveys may take longer.
