Surveying UC Students: Procedures, Policies, and Survey Calendar

24 December 2023

UC has procedures, policies, and a survey calendar to survey our students. We do this in line with internal and external policies and laws. Our policy and procedures aim to protect the strategic importance of UC institutional research surveys and Student Evaluations of Teaching, as well as protect students from survey fatigue. 

HOW TO APPLY

Information on how to survey UC students in accordance with UC and external policies and laws. 

The policy and procedures referenced here aim to protect the strategic importance of UC institutional research surveys and Student Evaluations of Teaching (Course and Teaching Surveys), while also protecting students from survey fatigue and inundation of survey requests.

 

Student Community Online Survey Policy

Due to the strategic nature of Ako Marake | ESI Student Lifecycle survey research, ESI hold priority for surveying UC students. As such, any online surveying for currently enrolled students, graduands, and graduates must be done in accordance with the University of Canterbury’s Student Community Online Survey Policy.

To help you through the process, Ako Marake has created an interactive and iterative screening tool in the section below.

Survey Screening Tool

This screening tool (opens new tab) was created to assist those who wish to administer an online survey to any UC students to maintain compliance with the Student Community Online Survey Policy.  

If you plan to survey UC students for any reason, please use the screening tool to provide the necessary administrative details. This tool initiates the compliance process for conducting surveys under UC policy.

You'll be asked a series of questions about your survey. Once submitted, Ako Marake | ESI will engage in a consultative process with you.

Please complete a separate screening form for each survey you intend to administer.

 

Survey Calendar

In accordance with the Student Community Online Survey Policy, please reference the UC Survey Calendar below for permissible timing for any surveying of students (current or graduated).

This is a living document and will updated as dates are finalised or amended.
