Student Information

For Students

Where can I find my course surveys?
Surveys are administered online using the Watermark Course Evaluations and Surveys platform, which is integrated with Canvas (CES – formerly EvaluationKIT). You will receive emails from course-survey@montclair.edu with direct links to your surveys, as well as a pop-up message in Canvas. 

Some of my courses do not have a survey. Why?
Not every course will get surveyed. Per contract, tenured faculty may choose to opt out of course surveys for the fall and/or spring terms. Likewise, we will not ask you to give us feedback if you are the only student enrolled in your course. You may email course-survey@montclair.edu to find out why your course is not being surveyed. 

We encourage you to give your feedback to your Department Chair when you are unable to give feedback via survey.

I made a mistake on the survey after I submitted. Can I fix it?
If the survey period has not ended, you can email course-survey@montclair.edu and we will reset your survey for you. However, if the survey period has ended, we cannot reopen your survey. 

I forgot to submit my survey before the survey window closed. Can you reopen it?
Unfortunately we cannot reopen surveys once the survey window closes. We encourage you to give your feedback to your Department Chair when you are unable to give feedback via survey. 

Will my professor know which survey is mine?
We have policies in place to ensure your responses remain anonymous: 

• We do not survey courses in which only one student is enrolled. 
• Instructors get their survey reports after the semester is over and final grades have been posted.
• Reports are de-identified. 

What happens if I don’t submit a survey?
Survey participation is optional but highly encouraged. If you do not submit a survey, we will not be able to use your feedback to improve the course experience for students in the future. Your final grade, ability to receive credit for your course(s), and/or ability to register for next semester will not be impacted.
