In an effort to reduce survey fatigue the Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness (OIRE) works with other units on campus to plan, organize, and monitor surveys involving the UIS students, faculty, staff, and alumni populations. Individuals interested in administering a survey to a significant portion of the UIS community (≥10% of the target population) are asked to complete the UIS Campus Survey Administration Request form. See the UIS University Wide Survey Policy for more information.
