Qualtrics Survey Tool

Qualtrics is a web-based survey tool that allows users to quickly create, distribute, and analyze surveys – from basic to very complex – with no previous experience and little time to learn.

Available to current UVM Faculty, Staff, Students, and Temporary Employees

When accessed using a UVM account at qualtrics.uvm.edu, Qualtrics has been approved for handling and storage of all Protected University Information except Protected Health Information. If you need PHI in Qualtrics, contact us for consultation.

Getting Started

  1. Go to qualtrics.uvm.edu

    You must log in to Qualtrics from the UVM URL, qualtrics.uvm.edu, rather than the main Qualtrics site. UVM credentials will not work if accessed using the non-UVM URL.

  2. Log in with your UVM NetID and password, then Duo Multi-Factor Authentication.
    If you do not have MFA set up, see the Duo Multi-Factor Authentication guide to enroll a device.
  3. Click Create a project (or + in the same location in smaller browser windows).
  4. Click Survey.
  5. Click Get Started.

    This will bring you to the Survey Editor for your first survey. For more information on creating surveys and Qualtrics in general, see the guides linked below.
