UNT Qualtrics Support Web Page is now Available

June 25, 2019

In 2018, University Information Technology, UIT, took over management of the Qualtrics Survey platform subscription that serves the data collection needs of the UNT campus. Qualtrics is an easy to use survey platform that is available to all students, faculty, and staff via the my.unt.edu platform as well as via a direct login. While it's easy to get started on Qualtrics and create simple surveys, there are also many other advanced features, such as authentication, branching, and survey panel management that can be used to create a survey tool that best supports the data collection effort. UIT has created a Qualtrics support page, it.unt.edu/qualtrics, to provide a starting point for accessing Qualtrics and to offer links to the many learning and support resources that Qualtrics provides as part of UNT's subscription to the service.
