Surveys
Survey Procedure and Guidelines
We are available to conduct online and paper surveys on behalf of department and organization across Life University community. To avoid survey saturation of our population, survey distributed to students, staff and faculty must be coordinated through the Office of Institutional Research and facilitated through Class Climate (online survey tool). Please review the survey schedule to assist in your planning and have surveys added to the survey schedule at the beginning of each academic year. Lack of coordination may result in multiple surveys sent to the same population at the same time creating survey fatigue and frustration.
For researchers surveying the Life University population, approved surveys must follow established Life University Institutional Review Board (IRB) guidelines. Life University research information can be found at https://www.life.edu/about-pages/research/
