Survey Support

Survey Support provides guidance on survey design, administration, and response analysis for UMB schools, departments, and administrative units. Support is focused on surveys that inform institutional decision-making, planning, assessment, and reporting.

UMB uses the Qualtrics platform for official University surveys. Accounts can be created through the UMB portal or coordinated through a division administrator.

Contact IEIE to discuss survey planning, methodology, or support needs.

Survey Services

Support is available across the survey lifecycle, including:

• Survey design and instrument development
• Sampling and administration guidance
• Response tracking and analysis
• Reporting and interpretation of results
• Alignment with institutional assessment needs

Specialized Survey Efforts

Some surveys are conducted on recurring cycles or for system-wide reporting requirements.

For example, a triennial undergraduate alumni survey is conducted to support system-level accountability requirements originally developed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

Access and Tools

UMB surveys are typically administered through Qualtrics, the university’s standard survey platform. Access is available through the UMB Portal or via Division Administrator.
