Thursday, June 19, 2014

CaTS is pleased to announce that REMARK, our new examination scoring software, is now available. Welcome packets have been distributed to all clients using our services during Spring and Summer A/C Semesters.

Over the summer, Exam System II will be phased out and Remark will become the standard package. We will continue to process special requests for Exam System II until October 1, 2014 to transition those who are new to REMARK in the Fall Semester.

REMARK documents are available on the Scanning website. These pages include report examples, request options and helpful information.
