The University utilizes a web-based student end-of-course evaluation system, hosted by an off-site vendor using a secure server. The evaluations are administered by the Office of Institutional Research. Students use this system for completing their evaluations. Instructors and administrators use this system for receiving the results of the evaluations. Students and instructors can access the system securely through Canvas without the need for an additional login or password.
