End of Course Surveys

By default, course evaluations use Watermark’s tool Evalkit for end-of-course surveys. Faculty can choose to use Evalkit and the default survey questions, add their own custom questions, modify their survey’s availability window, or opt out of using Evalkit.

If you would like ITS help with adding your custom questions, you can use this Google Form to submit your customization request. Otherwise the documentation below should answer most questions.

Deadlines

Please find the spring 2025 schedule for end-of-course surveys below.

The open and close window for students can be modified by faculty. Both faculty and students will receive periodic emails reminding them of these deadlines as they approach.
