Staff OMR Scanning Information
An OMR Request Form, Master OMR Card (answer sheet) and Test Header must be completed and delivered to the Examinations Section prior to any scanning taking place. These three forms should be delivered to Examinations.
Master Sheets and Test Headers are available from the Examinations Section (Building 2, Rockhampton Campus).
Along with the OMR Request Form, an OMR Delivery Form must be included each time batches of OMR Cards are delivered for scanning. This form outlines the numbers of OMR Cards being delivered. OMR Cards must be counted beforehand, and an OMR Delivery Form must accompany each delivery.
Any discrepancies that arise from the scanning process will be discussed with the lecturer immediately. Staff in charge of courses are solely responsible for the collection and delivery of OMR cards for scanning.
Points about OMR Scanning
- If OMR cards are used, ensure students know the correct procedures (e.g. using pencils only, proper shading in, completion of personal details, etc).
- Staff using OMR cards need to ensure that the cards are collected and forwarded to the Examinations Section for processing in a prompt manner i.e. when collecting exams from the examinations dispatch centre, separate the OMR cards and deliver at that time.
- When small numbers need processing (e.g. less than five cards), for time efficiency it may be more practical to manually mark the OMR, especially AIC or regional campuses.
- Align the OMR Cards in the same direction ready for scanning
- Staff at AIC or Regional Campuses can mail forms and OMR cards directly to Examinations at:
