Survey Research

The Division of Institutional Effectiveness (IE) serves as the institutional clearinghouse for scheduling surveys of our constituents. The division is responsible for the coordination of efforts to survey the institutional community, to prioritize survey needs, and to increase the potential for statistically valid response rates.

• All surveys distributed to groups of individuals associated with Augusta University, or any of its affiliates, must be approved by the Designated Senior Official to ensure appropriate relevance to the institutional mission. 
• Requests to administer a survey from an external constituent are not permitted.
• Internal requests to administer a survey to other members or prospective members of the AU population (faculty, staff, and/or students) must:

have permission from an internal sponsor (typically the employee's supervisor or the student's faculty sponsor)

have permission from the Designated Senior Official(s) for the target population(s) as defined herein

follow the request process referenced below regardless of the method of distribution
