JCBSurvey - Qualtrics

 

IMPORTANT: JCBSurvey Qualtrics accounts are only for Jones College of Business faculty, staff and students. If you are NOT part of the Jones College of Business, please use the Office 365 (MTSU) link to access MTSU's version of Qualtrics. The Jones College of Business uses an upgraded Qualtrics XM5 license that provides advanced data collection and processing, role based dashboards, automated alerts, mobile support, advanced stats analytics, key driver analysis, predictive regression, intelligent text analytics, website feedback and API integration.

 

Qualtrics is an online survey management system that allows for the creation and deployment of online surveys.  To start creating surveys, faculty must create an account using the instructions outlined in our Quick Start Guide [PDF]. The Jones College of Business uses an upgraded XM5 Qualtrics license that is an upgrade to our campus Research Core license.  

Alternatively, faculty members can request that JCB.ITS manages their surveys.  The information below outlines the procedures to initiate that service.
