UC Santa Cruz Surveys Calendar
Institutional Research, Analytics, and Planning Support (IRAPS) conducts regular, special, and periodic campus-wide surveys of students, faculty, and staff. This calendar provides information about upcoming surveys by IRAPS, plus other campus-wide surveys of which we are aware. If your unit is planning a campus-wide survey and would like it to appear on this calendar, please write to surveys@ucsc.edu.
Every Spring quarter features a large campus-wide student survey:
We recommend Fall or Winter quarters for smaller surveys, to maximize response rates.
