What’s happening to EEE Survey?
EEE Survey will be retired as part of the Canvas transition.
For class-based instructional use: EEE Canvas provides a survey feature within the Quiz tool.
For other uses: OIT provides Qualtrics, a robust survey solution, to the full campus.

When will EEE Survey be retired?
EEE Survey will be moved to a ‘read-only’ archive state at the start of the Winter 2020 quarter (January, 2020). At that point, Survey users will still be able to retrieve past content, but they will not be able to create or publish new surveys.

Use cases
The alternatives listed for each use case are described in further detail in the “List of alternatives” section, below.

Should you have a critical use case you would like to make us aware of so that it can be taken into account as the campus identifies a long-term central surveying solution, please do not hesitate to contact us.
