1. Who can use the Online Survey System?
   All students, faculty, and staff may log in to the Online Survey System and create, activate, and publish surveys.

2. Can I use the Online Survey System for personal use?
   The Online Survey System is restricted to University-related work and is not for personal use.

3. Do I need to use University branding on my survey?
   Depending on the nature of the survey, a determination is made as to whether it should be branded with the University logo.

4. Can I map an existing Qualtrics account to my Online Survey System account?
   Account mapping to your University account is sometimes possible. It depends on the nature of the Qualtrics account. For more information, contact Qualtrics support using the information in the "Getting additional help and support" section on this page.

5. Can I collaborate with colleagues to create surveys?
   Yes. Qualtrics has a sharing feature for you to give others access to your surveys and data. Use of this feature also allows collaboration with colleagues outside of the University of Pittsburgh that do not have Qualtrics accounts. Please see the Qualtrics Insight Support page for a complete guide to using this feature.

6. Why are my survey invitations that are sent through Qualtrics ending up in the recipient's spam folder?
   By default, Qualtrics pre-populates the From address on your survey invitation as noreply@qualtrics-research.com. Pitt IT strongly recommends that this should not be changed. If you change this to a University email address, Microsoft will view it as a suspicious email and place it in the recipient's spam folder.

7. Are there any limits to the number of surveys that can be sent via the Qualtrics Email distribution method?
   Each account under the University of Pittsburgh Qualtrics brand can send 25,000 emails per week. This includes survey invitations, reminder emails, and thank you messages. If you have a survey that requires more than this limit, your account may be eligible for a temporary increase. To request a temporary increase, Please contact the 24/7 IT Help Desk at 412-624-HELP (4357). You may also submit a request online.

The University of Pittsburgh Human Research Protection Office (HRPO) requires that, with few exceptions, investigators use the Online Survey System for all new web-based surveys. Maintaining the security of research subjects' data is of paramount importance to the HRPO. The Information Security Office for Pitt IT has determined that the Online Survey System meets University Data Security standards. The use of other web-based survey programs may be approved by the HRPO, but only after additional institutional review has been completed.
