Gradescope is a collaborative online platform for exam administration, grading, data recording and analysis, returning exams and handling regrade requests, and data visualizations of student performance. Contact your divisional representative to enable Gradescope.

Special Notes

Contact your divisional representative for information about licensing and funding and to enable Gradescope in your course.

Gradescope will enable the use of the tool in consultation with the divisional representative, not individual instructors.

Any instructor who wishes to use Gradescope should make a request to their relevant divisional representative, or they can send an email to q.help@utoronto.ca to identify their divisional contact.

As per our workflow, the Quercus Help support team will forward the instructor on to the relevant divisional representative. The instructor will discuss the policies and practices with the divisional representative. If the use of Gradescope is approved, the divisional representative will contact Gradescope with the course ID and Gradescope will enable use of the tool for the Quercus course. Once the divisional representative receives confirmation from Gradescope , they should send an email to the Quercus Help team to let them know at q.help@utoronto.ca that Gradescope has been enabled.

How to Get Started

The University of Toronto currently has an agreement with Gradescope that will make the tool interact with Quercus.

Each division of the University has its own policies and practices regarding access to, use of, and support of Gradescope. These practices and policies may relate to the financial management of the tool (there is a per-student-per-course licensing cost borne by each division), or they may relate to policies on how exams are managed within a particular department.

Therefore, the Gradescope tool is not universally available by default. Every request for access to the tool, on a course-by-course basis, renewed each semester, must be approved by the relevant division.
