Gradescope Guidelines and Cover Page Examples

** TO AVOID DELAYS in processing, please follow the guidelines below **

• Print exams on white paper.  If color paper is unavoidable, please limit to light colors.
• Use color paper if students need extra pages to show their work. Exams with extra pages need to be separated and will be scanned together in a separate batch and added to Gradescope. 
• Every Gradescope exam needs a cover page that is easily identifiable and contains student’s name and PUID.  Cover page examples are available on this webpage. One-page exams do not need a cover page. Name and PUID must appear near the top of all pages.
• We encourage the use of our Scratch Page for student workspace. Do not use blank pages! Pages without sufficient coverage will not scan. A scratch page example is available on this webpage. Crib sheets must be uploaded by students in a separate assignment.
• Exams may be single or double-sided. If the exam is single-sided, students’ work on back pages will not be scanned. If the exam is double-sided, there must be sufficient print on both sides of every page.
• Staple exam pages in the upper left-hand corner as close to the corner as possible.
• An exam template must be set up in Gradescope and MUST match the student exam EXACTLY. The roster should also be updated prior to dropping exams off at IDP.
• Add IDP Staff to your roster with the role of “TA”.  First Name “IDP” and Last Name “Staff” and Email “idp@purdue.edu”
• Submit IDP Gradescope worksheet with student exams. Late exams can be scanned and added to Gradescope.
• IDP will contact customer upon completion.
