All surveys involving SWAU students, faculty, or staff must be reviewed and approved by OIRE before distribution. Unauthorized surveys may violate FERPA, institutional policy, and SACSCOC accreditation standards. Allow 5–7 business days for review. Do not distribute until written approval is received.
Survey Platform: All SWAU surveys are administered through Watermark (formerly Campus Labs). OIRE will coordinate survey setup and distribution in Watermark upon approval. Do not create your survey in another platform without OIRE authorization.

⚠ Please read before submitting. A clear administration plan is required to process your survey request. You must describe how you will distribute the survey and actively encourage responses — whether by email, QR code, in-class announcement, posted flyers, or another method. Simply creating a survey and sharing a link is not sufficient.
14-Day Response Policy: If no responses have been recorded within 14 days of your survey going live, the survey will be automatically removed from the system. It is your responsibility to actively promote the survey and follow up with your target population to ensure responses are collected within that window.
