Survey Policies
An institutional survey is one that meets all 3 of the following criteria:
- A survey that is to be distributed to members of a Loyola constituent group or a particular subpopulation of a group (e.g., alumni, employers, and/or all students with senior status).
- A survey where OIE is responsible for distributing the survey and analyzing, reporting, and disseminating the data.
- A survey listed on the Institutional Survey 10-year iterative implementation plan.
Institutional surveys are completed with OIE/Loyola stakeholder collaboration but fully managed by OIE. Any final decision about implementation of an institutional survey must have the approval of the Provost and Chief Academic Officer, and the Sr Vice President for Administration, following consultation with the President.
Surveys not meeting the criteria of an institutional survey can be elevated to institutional status. Recommendations to add a survey to the 10-Year iterative survey plan will be made to the Associate Provost of OIE by the Survey Coordinating Committee, a group established after the Task Force. (See Part 5 in Task Force for details.) Recommendations will be based on the extent to which the proposed survey:
- Monitors institutional progress on an emerging institutional strategic initiative,
- Addresses an emerging question posited by members of the University leadership, and/or
- Identifies the impact of an emerging crisis or institutional concern.
Steps required to introduce a new institutional survey to Loyola:
Loyola colleagues seeking to introduce a new institutional survey must:
- Complete Survey Administration Form (Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management).
- Thoroughly address the first two criteria of an institutional survey:
- A survey that is distributed to members of a Loyola constituent group or a particular subpopulation of a group (e.g., all students with senior status)
- A survey where OIE is responsible for distributing the survey and analyzing, reporting, and disseminating the data.
A final decision to introduce a new institutional survey to Loyola must have the approval of the Provost and Chief Academic Officer and the Sr Vice President for Administration, following consultation with the President.
