Some professors require homework, lab reports, and other assignments to be submitted electronically.  If you complete an assignment on paper,  you will need to scan the documents to a PDF file.  It is important to make sure the scan of your work is clear and legible or the grader may deduct points.  Generally, it is better to use a scanner instead of a phone app. 

Format

When scanning, select the color option.  The Black and White setting does not show up well.  Greyscale may work, but color is better for clarity, especially for lined or graph paper.  Select PDF as the output format.

Scanning Locations

The college provides a number of locations for scanning documents.

McCabe and Cornell Libraries

McCabe and Cornell Libraries have Scannx systems that you can use to scan docs and specify an email destination.  When scanning in your work, make sure to select color. 

Beardsley Media Center

The Beardsley Media Center (room 114) has Canon Multifunction scanner/printer/copier that can be used to scan in your pages and have them emailed to you.  There is a sheet feeder which can be used to quickly scan multiple pages.  

Departmental Offices

Some academic departments allow students to use the Canon Multifunction scanner/printer/copier in the departmental office to scan homework.  Check with the specific department to see if it is permitted.
