About Qualtrics

Qualtrics is a web-based tool used for creating and conducting online surveys and forms. Marquette's license allows any faculty, staff or student to use the tool to administer surveys. Qualtrics, also known as Qualtrics XM (Experience Management), is for academic teaching or research purposes only and explicitly excludes any use of Qualtrics for commercial purposes. Qualtrics may not be assigned to or used by any commercial entity or user.

Surveys with 100 or more Marquette students, employees or alumni as participants must be approved in advance unless they meet one of the exceptions outlined in Marquette's Online Survey Policy. Please review the survey request information before creating a survey.
Institutional Review Board (IRB): Your survey may require approval of the IRB. Please review the information on IRB approval for human subject research before creating a survey.
