Background

RapidReturn is a service that allows instructors to quickly and securely return in-person exams to students. After you’ve graded the exam, you’ll schedule a time for it to be picked up and scanned. Once scanned, you’ll receive an email letting you know that the exam is ready to be released to your students. See below for instructions on how to do this.
