The following pages contain instructional steps on working with Gradescope in your courses. This includes navigating the course site, uploading assessment submissions, viewing your score breakdowns, and requesting regrades.<\/p>\n
If you are having technical difficulties with Gradescope, please Contact the IT Help Center<\/a>.<\/p>\nCourse Dashboard and Interface<\/h3><\/p>\nFinding your assignments<\/h4>\n\nLog in to the Gradescope website on your computer, phone, or tablet. You\u2019ll be taken to your\u00a0Dashboard<\/strong>\u00a0as soon as you log in.<\/li>\nOn your\u00a0Dashboard<\/strong>, select the course you\u2019d like to view. This will take you to the list of assignments in that course that you\u2019re able to submit. On this list, you will see the status of the assignment, the release date, and the due date. If your instructor has enabled late submissions for the assignment, you\u2019ll also see a late due date.<\/li>\nClick on the assignment to open it and start submitting your work. Now, continue to the next sections of this guide for how to enter your answers or upload different types of files.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nSubmit PDFs and Images<\/h3><\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To submit a hand-written or typed assignment to Gradescope, the submission must be in the form of a PDF or an image, depending on the type of assessment.<\/p>\n<p><span>To convert paper-based, handwritten work to a PDF, we recommend using a scanning app for mobile devices, such as\u00a0<\/span><strong>Scannable<\/strong><span>\u00a0(iOS) or\u00a0<\/span><strong>Genius Scan<\/strong><span>\u00a0(iOS or Android). Check out\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gradescope-static-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/help\/submitting_hw_guide.pdf\">Submitting PDF homework in Gradescope<\/a><span> to learn how to use these scanning apps and submit PDFs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"variable_length_submissions\"><strong>Variable-length submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In most cases, your instructor will allow you to turn in a variable-length submission for written assignments. This means your answers may span across any number of pages and responses may not be located in the same place on each page. If your instructor will accept a variable-length submission, when you open or start the assignment, you\u2019ll have two options for submitting your work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Individual images, one or more per question<\/li>\n<li>One PDF<span>\u00a0<\/span>that contains the whole submission; Gradescope will ask you to mark where each answer is<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"fixed_length_submissions_templated\"><strong>Fixed-length submissions (templated)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, such as when you\u2019re turning in a worksheet, your instructor may want your responses fixed to particular locations on each page of the document you submit. This is called a fixed-length or templated submission. Because your instructor already knows where your responses will be, you only need to upload your completed PDF and will not be asked to indicate which page(s) contain the answers to each question. If your instructor would like a templated submission, when you open or start the assignment, you\u2019ll only have one option for submitting your work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One PDF<span>\u00a0<\/span>that contains the whole submission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Submitting a PDF<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>After you have the<span>\u00a0<\/span>PDF of your work<span>\u00a0<\/span>ready and you’ve selected the assignment (and clicked\u00a0<strong>Start Assignment<\/strong>\u00a0if it\u2019s timed), a dialog box will appear where you can start uploading your work.\n<ul>\n<li>If your instructor has allowed it, you may also have a link to view, download, and print a PDF version of your assignment questions, instructions, or a bubble sheet that you can use to complete your work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re ready, click\u00a0<strong>Submit PDF<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0<strong>Select PDF<\/strong>\u00a0> locate the file >\u00a0<strong>Upload PDF<\/strong>. You can only submit one PDF file per assignment. After you upload, your instructor\u2019s assignment settings determine what you see on your screen next. If you\u2019re taken to a page that asks you to assign questions and pages, go to\u00a0<strong>Step 3<\/strong>. If a success message pops up, you\u2019re done! Sit back and relax or go to\u00a0<strong>Step 5<\/strong>\u00a0to resubmit.<\/li>\n<li>On your screen, you should see a list of the questions\/problems in your assignment and thumbnails of your PDF page(s). For each question, click the question on the left and the PDF page(s) that contains the answers on the right.\n<ul>\n<li>You can use the <strong>SHIFT<\/strong>\u00a0key to select multiple questions at a time. You can assign multiple questions to the same page and multiple pages to one question. If each question is on its own page in your PDF, use the\u00a0<strong>Assign Pages Sequentially<\/strong>\u00a0button in the bottom action bar to quickly assign these pages. See the\u00a0<strong>video<\/strong>\u00a0at the beginning of this section for an example of how to properly mark your PDF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Now, click\u00a0<strong>Submit<\/strong>. When your submission is successful, you will be sent to a new page to view your submission, you\u2019ll see a success message on your screen, and you\u2019ll receive an email. If your submitted file looks good, you see the success message, and you get the confirmation email, you\u2019re done!<\/li>\n<li>If you need to, select the\u00a0<strong>Resubmit<\/strong>\u00a0button in the bottom right corner of your screen below your submission. Then, repeat the steps above as many times as needed before the assignment due date passes or the time limit runs out (if your instructor set one). Your instructor or TA will only see your most recent submission when they grade the assignment.

If you will be scanning your work, it’s also highly recommended that you use the scanning apps and instructions in the<span>\u00a0<\/span>Scanning Work on a Mobile Device<span>\u00a0<\/span>article to create PDFs that are small in size, high-resolution, and are guaranteed to work with Gradescope.

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>To submit a hand-written or typed assignment to Gradescope, the submission must be in the form of a PDF or an image, depending on the type of assessment.<\/p>\n<p><span>To convert paper-based, handwritten work to a PDF, we recommend using a scanning app for mobile devices, such as\u00a0<\/span><strong>Scannable<\/strong><span>\u00a0(iOS) or\u00a0<\/span><strong>Genius Scan<\/strong><span>\u00a0(iOS or Android). Check out\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gradescope-static-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/help\/submitting_hw_guide.pdf\">Submitting PDF homework in Gradescope<\/a><span> to learn how to use these scanning apps and submit PDFs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"variable_length_submissions\"><strong>Variable-length submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In most cases, your instructor will allow you to turn in a variable-length submission for written assignments. This means your answers may span across any number of pages and responses may not be located in the same place on each page. If your instructor will accept a variable-length submission, when you open or start the assignment, you\u2019ll have two options for submitting your work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Individual images, one or more per question<\/li>\n<li>One PDF<span>\u00a0<\/span>that contains the whole submission; Gradescope will ask you to mark where each answer is<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"fixed_length_submissions_templated\"><strong>Fixed-length submissions (templated)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some cases, such as when you\u2019re turning in a worksheet, your instructor may want your responses fixed to particular locations on each page of the document you submit. This is called a fixed-length or templated submission. Because your instructor already knows where your responses will be, you only need to upload your completed PDF and will not be asked to indicate which page(s) contain the answers to each question. If your instructor would like a templated submission, when you open or start the assignment, you\u2019ll only have one option for submitting your work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One PDF<span>\u00a0<\/span>that contains the whole submission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Submitting a PDF<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>After you have the<span>\u00a0<\/span>PDF of your work<span>\u00a0<\/span>ready and you’ve selected the assignment (and clicked\u00a0<strong>Start Assignment<\/strong>\u00a0if it\u2019s timed), a dialog box will appear where you can start uploading your work.\n<ul>\n<li>If your instructor has allowed it, you may also have a link to view, download, and print a PDF version of your assignment questions, instructions, or a bubble sheet that you can use to complete your work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re ready, click\u00a0<strong>Submit PDF<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0<strong>Select PDF<\/strong>\u00a0> locate the file >\u00a0<strong>Upload PDF<\/strong>.

If you are working on a<span>\u00a0<\/span>variable-length<span>\u00a0<\/span>or<span>\u00a0<\/span>online assignment<span>\u00a0<\/span>where your instructor has allowed you to choose the type of file you’d like to upload, it’s highly recommended that you<span>\u00a0<\/span>submit PDFs<span>\u00a0<\/span>rather than images. If you will be scanning your work, it’s also highly recommended that you use the scanning apps and instructions in the<span>\u00a0<\/span>Scanning Work on a Mobile Device<span>\u00a0<\/span>article to create PDFs that are small in size, high-resolution, and are guaranteed to work with Gradescope. If you’ve used the best practices explained above and are having issues submitting your work, see the table and steps below to try to fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>If all else fails, please contact<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"mailto:help@gradescope.com\">help@gradescope.com<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>from the email address associated with your Gradescope account. In your message, be sure to include the name of the course, assignment, and a screenshot or screen recording of any error notifications you see.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"general_troubleshooting_steps\">General troubleshooting steps<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Use the<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Possible problems and solutions table<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>below to try to determine the cause of your submission errors. Correct the errors, if possible. Be mindful of how much time you have left before the due date will pass or the timer will run out (if your assignment has a time limit).<\/li>\n<li>Then, try to open the assignment in Gradescope.\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Assignment still opens:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>If you’re prompted to submit your work, follow the instructions above on submitting an assignment. If you’re trying to resubmit, check for a Resubmit button at the bottom of your screen. If you still see one, click the<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Resubmit<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>button and re-upload your work. Unless you were working on an<span>\u00a0<\/span>Online Assignment, be sure to wait for an emailed submission receipt and a success notification on your screen before navigating away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assignment does not open \/ no Resubmit button:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Your timer may have run out or your due date may have passed, so you will not be able to resubmit.

For each assignment type, Gradescope will only accept certain file types. They are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Templated assignment (exams):<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>single PDF only<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variable-length assignment (homework):<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>single PDF or one or more images, which can be jpg\/jpeg, png, gif, or heif\/heic files<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bubble sheet assignment:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>single PDF of<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gradescope-static-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/examples\/bubble_sheet_v2\/template.pdf\">Gradescope’s bubble sheet template<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>only<\/li>\n<li><strong>Programming assignment:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Any file type<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online assignment (file upload fields):<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Any file type<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you submitted one of the acceptable file types listed above, but you still can’t upload your submission, double-check that your file-type extensions were written correctly. For example, make sure all jpegs have “.jpg” and all PDFs have “.pdf” at the end of the file names. Then, check for missing periods in your file extensions. Finally, make sure that the file extension listed for each file is the correct one. For example, check that files with “.pdf” extensions are not actually jpegs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Tried to upload multiple PDFs<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>If you’re submitting a PDF to a variable-length, templated, or bubble sheet assignment, you will only be able to submit a single PDF. Therefore, if you have multiple, separate PDFs to submit, you need to consolidate them into one PDF first. To protect your privacy, it is not recommended that you use free PDF-combining websites or apps to do that. Instead, if you’re not sure how to combine multiple PDF files, try one of the solutions below.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For Mac users (Preview app):<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>In the Preview app\u00a0on your Mac, open the PDFs you want to combine. In each open PDF, choose<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>View<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>><span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Thumbnails<\/strong>. Decide which PDF will be your main PDF. Drag the appropriate page thumbnails from the other PDFs into the main PDF.
