 Once logged in, the student will see a summary of all classes awaiting evaluation.

 Students will receive the first prompt at the start of the 13 th week for 14 week courses ◦ Class End Date is used when calculating SEI start/end dates for 7 week classes. ◦ Dynamic session class dates are set manually.  Two reminders will be sent.  The process will occur over 10 days.

 The standard set of six questions approved by Faculty Senate is fixed for all questionnaires.

 Additional “evaluation” templates can be created.  Department chairs can create a questionnaire that incorporates the standard questions + additional questions defined by the department.

 The standard SEI will automatically be generated for each course.  Chairs will be able to assign a different questionnaire template ◦ If the department has additional questions they ask of each class ◦ If the department has a subsection of classes that receive a different questionnaire (e.g., lab courses)  Chairs may also remove the SEI from courses that should not be assessed (e.g. independent studies).

 ITS needs a documented guideline that will outline how often the SEI data should be purged from the university system  ITS will need to have an SEI user group possibly made up of ADAs and Department Chairs : ◦ Ongoing training and knowledge sharing ◦ Works with ITS to improve the SEI system, if needed
