Surveys & Indirect Measures
The Office for Institutional Effectiveness strives to expand the capacity for assessment at Clemson to enrich data-driven continuous improvement and innovations. Towards this goal, OIE provides resources and services for creating and using surveys and other indirect measures.
Survey Software
All Clemson faculty, staff, and students have access to Qualtrics online survey software for university-related work. Employees can also use Anthology Baseline for conducting surveys. We recommend that you use Clemson's Qualtrics enterprise license for most surveys. Qualtrics is a feature-rich, functional survey software solution and has met the requirements for Clemson's IT Solutions Registry. Please see our Qualtrics Terms of Use.
Use of Google Forms and Microsoft Forms is discouraged for confidential or restricted data. When working in with external survey vendors, keep in mind that directory information (such as names and email addresses) should not be transmitted without satisfying the stipulations in the South Carolina Family Privacy Protection Act (FPPA).
Please see the links in the sidebar for more useful information on how to design, implement, and execute your survey. If you would like to distribute a survey at Clemson, need help developing your survey in Qualtrics or Baseline, or have any other survey-related question, please use the links below or email surveys@clemson.edu.
