How do I get started with Qualtrics?
Resolution
Qualtrics is an online survey platform and tool with features including survey creation, distribution, analysis, and storage.
Getting Started with Qualtrics
- Log into the U-M Qualtrics Survey instance:
- All U-M faculty, staff, students, and sponsored affiliates have free access to the Qualtrics Survey platform
- Your account will be created the first time you use your UMICH login credentials through the U-M Qualtrics portal: https://umich.qualtrics.com/
- NOTE: Going to login.qualtrics.com will NOT log you into the full-featured U-M instance
- Our campus agreement does not cover a casual non-coursework survey or a project for a non-U-M organization or private business
- Due to UM policies listed here and the terms of our Qualtrics Academic Site License, we can not create "group accounts" or "generic accounts" for multiple people to share
- University Qualtrics Administrators can create Groups (for multiple users) and Divisions (for an entire unit) to help organize multiple accounts and make sharing of resources easier
