Surveys
The Institutional Effectiveness survey team provides Rice users with support for survey administration. Rice uses the Qualtrics system for surveying. Qualtrics is an easy-to-use, web-based tool for creating and managing online surveys. The DesignXM Qualtrics platform is available to all current Rice University faculty, staff, and students. We provide support for account setup, access and permissions, and survey question feedback. Technical support related to the survey platform itself is handled by the Qualtrics Support team directly.
