Qualtrics at UAF
UAF provides unlimited surveys and responses to UAF students, staff, and faculty through the Qualtrics online survey software. With Qualtrics, you can create online surveys, and polls with advanced functionality, and easily see results as they come in. When you create a form, you can invite others to respond to it using any web browser, even on mobile devices. As results are submitted, you can use built-in analytics to evaluate responses. Results can be easily exported to a PDF, or Word document.
To access Qualtrics through UAFs subscription you will need a valid UA login and to be affiliated with UAF. Anyone can participate in a survey once it has been created and published by the eligible user.
