The Institutional Research and Analytics team is committed to providing reliable data and insights to support informed decision-making throughout the Pitt community. As part of this commitment, our office oversees the administration of a range of surveys to assess and improve the student experience.
Pitt staff can use this guidebook to get a better understanding of how and when to effectively conduct and share student survey results with the larger Pitt community. This section offers insights into survey data and governance, introduces the survey governance committee, and provides student survey definitions.
This data sharing and governance policies section provides information on student survey data sharing guidelines, survey development and administration guidelines, required survey reporting, recommended survey reporting, and voluntary survey reporting.
If you are considering the development of a survey to be sent to Pitt students, faculty, or staff, review these questions to consider before starting your project, as well as best practices for survey design and administration and tips for increasing response rates .
