FAQ Section:

  • • When do student online course evaluations open and close for the full semester? The evaluation period opens approximately 3 weeks before the end of the semester. Please refer to the Course Evaluations website for accessing the official evaluation periods.
  • • How do students access their evaluations? Students will see their pending course evaluations in Brightspace during the open evaluation period. They will need to open each course individually to provide feedback. A pop-up message will appear when the evaluation is open. If they don’t see the pop-up message, they can also access the evaluation from the “My Course Evaluation & Surveys” widget.
  • • How will students know they are supposed to complete the course evaluations online? Every student will receive an email with links for their course evaluations at the beginning of the evaluation period. Students will also receive a pop-up message every time they log into Brightspace, prompting them to provide their feedback via the evaluation form.
  • • Can students still complete the course evaluation even if they missed the initial email notification? Yes. Students will receive daily email reminders with links to the evaluation tool throughout the open evaluation period. These links will also be available in Brightspace.
  • • If a student misses the course evaluation deadline, can a new evaluation be issued? No. All course evaluations must be completed during the timeframe specified in the email sent to students at the beginning of the evaluation period.
