Course Evaluations

Course evaluations are centrally administered by the Course Evaluations Administrator in the Office of Academic Affairs using Watermark’s Course Evaluation and Surveys application (formerly EvaluationKit). 

Note: The CTL is no longer managing the process. All support concerns/requests must be sent to course-evaluations@neiu.edu.

Starting with the 2023 Faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement, courses must have a minimum of seven students enrolled in order to be evaluated and to maintain the anonymity of the process.

In order for course sections to be assessed, the D2L section must be active at least two weeks prior to the Faculty Notified date below. Course Evaluations & Surveys relies on D2L for the evaluations to be available to students.

Faculty Access

Course Evaluation results and monitoring can be completed by using the links within D2L (browser compatibility limited to Chrome as of Fall 2023) or using the Watermark link within NEIUport followed by clicking on the Course Evaluation and Survey tile. The Watermark link/Course Evaluations & Surveys tile works with any browser.

Student Access

Students will access evaluations by using the pop-up reminders within D2L or using the embedded links found in their email reminders.
