SES Response Rate and Reminder Emails

SES Response Rate and Reminder Emails

How-to-Guides

UO Instructors with the highest SES response rates often report communicating about the value of the survey responses and offering credit, for example, either offering credit to the entire class if the group reached a high response rate, or creating a canvas quiz asking students if they completed the survey and relying on the “honor system”. 

While Student Experience Surveys are open, instructors can access the current response rate and an email link to send to students who have not yet submitted a response. This guide provides instructions for how to access that information and send reminder emails to students.
