Overview

Qualtrics is a survey tool that meets stringent information security requirements not found in most free online survey tools. It also has important quality control features, such as preventing multiple submissions from a single survey participant.

Getting Started

Qualtrics is centrally funded for Part 02 and Part 23 by the Texas A&M University System and the TAMU Division of Research. Other System Members agree to pay a license fee if they use the software. 

While you may be able to log in to Qualtrics with your Texas A&M NetID and password, you must have an account created to use the service.
