Register Your Survey

The survey registration process varies depending on whether you are a current NC State administrator, faculty, staff or student, OR if you are not currently affiliated in any way with NC State.

For those currently affiliated with NC State: The Survey Registration Form

If you are a current NC State administrator, faculty, staff, or student and planning on administering a survey targeting members of our campus community (i.e., students, alumni, faculty, staff, or administrators), as per Regulation 01.25.17 you must first submit the online Survey Registration Form .  Note:  Please carefully review the Regulation and the related Standard Operating Procedures document to determine whether or not your survey project falls under the purview of the Regulation, and to get a more detailed understanding of the process.

The Survey Registration form will ask for some basic information about your survey, such as an overview of the topics covered in it, who is included in the population, when you plan on administering it, and the IRB (Institutional Review Board) status of your project.  See “Useful tips” below.

For those NOT currently affiliated with NC State: The External Survey Request Form

If you are NOT a current NC State administrator, faculty, staff, or student, and want to target members of our campus community (i.e., students, alumni, faculty, staff, or administrators) to include in your survey population, as per Regulation 01.25.17 you must submit the online External Survey Request Form at least four weeks prior to when you hope to launch your survey.  Your proposal will be reviewed by Institutional Strategy and Analysis, and a determination made as to whether or not to grant access to your requested population.  Note:  Please carefully review the Regulation and the related Standard Operating Procedures document get a more detail understanding of the process and the criteria used in the review.

The External Survey Request form will ask for some basic information about your survey, such as an overview of the topics covered in it, who is included in the population, when you plan on administering it, and the IRB (Institutional Review Board) status of your project.  In addition, you will be asked to describe why it is important that NC State participate in your project, what, if any, benefits there might be for our participation, and who at NC State is familiar with your project and/or might be supportive of it.  See “Useful tips” below.
