Fall 2024 Evaluations Timeline
Course Evaluation Update Form Closes on: Friday, October 25th.
PDF evaluation forms delivered to instructors: No later than Friday, November 8th.
Electronic evaluation URLs delivered to students in online/hybrid courses: No later than Monday, November 25th.
Evaluation period closes: 11:59 pm on Sunday, December 8th.
It is best practice to have someone other than the instructor (usually a student), collect completed evaluations and return them via campus mail to OIE at MS-9033 or hand deliver to Old Main 475.
Please include an envelope to ease delivery. After receiving these, OIE will process them and will e-mail results to instructors after final grades are posted.
Which Instructors Do Course Evaluations?
Section 7.7.2.1 of the current faculty CBA states that “Faculty are expected to provide the opportunity for students to complete evaluations for all sections using the evaluation process and forms for student course evaluations developed and approved by the Faculty Senate.”

Course Evaluations FAQ
How will the evaluations be administered?
For AY2023-24, faculty will conduct student evaluations in the same modality that they are teaching. Faculty conducting classes in person will receive an email from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) with a .pdf evaluation that has a unique code linked to their course. Faculty will print out evaluations, have students fill them out in class, and return them to OIE via Campus Mail. Faculty teaching online or hybrid courses will have electronic evaluations automatically distributed to their students via email. Instructors will also be notified via email when their electronic evaluations have been sent to students.
I teach multiple courses/sections. How will I be able to tell apart my forms?
Both the title and CRN of your course will be printed at the top of each evaluation form.
Can faculty choose a different evaluation form than their default form?
Yes. To modify the forms related to your course evaluation(s), fill out the Microsoft Form linked at the top of this page before the current quarter’s deadline.
Can faculty consolidate multiple evaluation forms into one?
Yes, if (and only if) the courses are cross-listed sections of the same course, you can combine these to use a single evaluation form for the entire class. To do this, visit the Microsoft Form at the top of this page and select the option, “I want to use one evaluation for several cross-listed course sections (CRNs) that I teach” before the current quarter’s deadline.
Can non-primary instructors be evaluated?
Yes. If you are not the primary instructor listed for a course (you are a secondary instructor, co-instructor, TA, etc) you can request to be evaluated separately for the course. To do so, visit the Microsoft Form at the top of this page and select the option, “I am not listed as the primary instructor of a course in which I am teaching. I wish to generate an evaluation for this course” before the current quarter’s deadline.
Will my students need #2 pencils to complete the evaluations?
Ball-point and thin felt-tip pens, as well as pencils are acceptable for completing the paper evaluations.
