Training: Introduction to Qualtrics for Faculty and Staff (registration required) – Tues., Oct. 9 from 1:00-2:00, 18th Ave. Library, 3rd Floor Research Commons
Qualtrics representatives will provide a basic overview of Qualtrics survey software for faculty and staff who are new Qualtrics users.

Qualtrics users have a new option to distribute surveys and reminders using a custom OSU email address. The new domain @survey.osu.edu has enhanced email security set up to make it compatible with sending from Qualtrics. Users can create their own “From” addresses using @survey.osu.edu in the address, making it easier for recipients to identify that a survey is coming from an Ohio State University sender. By sending emails through this domain, emails may be less likely to be flagged as spam. Read Instructions for Using @survey.osu.edu to Distribute Surveys in Qualtrics for more detailed information.
