General Information

Student Surveys of Teaching are conducted each semester to:

Improve teaching quality
Inform faculty evaluations
Recognize teaching excellence
Support institutional decision-making

SSTs are anonymous and voluntary for students.

Surveys are sent to all students enrolled in KU Lawrence classes near the end of each course. Students receive a unique survey portal link via KU email and can also access it in the global navigation of their Canvas accounts.

Starting Spring 2026:
Students will complete one survey per instructor per course, replacing the previous process of one course survey plus one survey per instructor.

The current survey instrument is available in the Quick Links on the right sidebar. The pre-2026 instrument is available here.
