Prior to the ninth week of the quarter, the University shall make up a survey packet for each class to be surveyed. Included in the packet will be the necessary number of blank survey forms and marking pencils, an instruction sheet for the students who administer the surveys, and an envelope addressed to the Survey Coordinator, Administration 410, into which the completed forms are to be placed. The packets are sealed and an instruction sheet for the faculty member is attached to the front of the packet. The packets are then placed in the faculty member's boxes as required. Those departments/divisions/schools offering classes at off-campus locations must include with the survey packet a postage-paid, pre-addressed envelope for return of the completed forms by mail to the Survey Coordinator. 2. During one class period in the ninth or tenth week of the quarter, the faculty member shall take the packet to the class and shall provide a 15 to 20 minute block for administering the survey, under the direction of one or more students, as instructed on the packet attachment. The class instructor may request his/her department/division chair or school coordinator to appoint another person to proctor the administration of the survey. Without any further comment, the class instructor shall leave the room until the survey process is completed. 3. After the class completes the survey, the designated student(s) shall place the forms in the addressed envelope, seal it, and deposit the sealed envelope in specially designated campus mail depositories as shown on the map accompanying the instructions. If the class is being held at an off-campus location the students administering the survey must place the forms in the postage-paid, pre- addressed envelope, seal it, and deposit it in the U.S. mail. The Survey Coordinator shall keep the forms in a secure place until they are processed. A copy of the summary for each class surveyed shall be sent to the faculty member, the department/division/school, and the dean of the college after the grading deadline.
