How can I start working with Institutional Research to prepare the survey?

• The people you are surveying will not be together for you to administer a hard copy survey

• The people you are surveying will be together for you to administer a hard copy survey
• You do not have the email addresses for the people being surveyed.

After my survey is placed on the survey software, can I change it?

Yes, although the Institutional Research staff appreciates your doing as much editing as possible before forwarding the document for placement on the software.
