SOS Faculty Experience
Course Evaluations Available
Student Opinion Surveys are available two weeks before a 14-week term ends and one week before a 7-week term or shorter term ends. When the survey period begins, students receive an email from sos@uwosh.edu containing instructions on how to access their individualized portal and complete the Student Opinion Survey. The portal will contain a list of their courses and available surveys. Students will receive two reminder emails before survey expiration. All surveys expire at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the term.

General Overview of the SOS Process for Instructors
You will receive an email notification that the survey period is open. We have developed email templates instructors can send to students to remind them course evaluations are opened.
Your SOS Results: Instructor Dashboard
Instructors will receive an email notification that their SOS data is available to view in their Instructor Dashboard up to a month after the current semester’s deadline for submitting final course grades has elapsed.
You will be able to view, retrieve, and analyze your data in a variety of ways. Results will be updated after every session in which the instructor teaches a course. Instructions and tutorials are available on the Dashboard Guide for Instructors.
Dashboard Access Changes During Survey Collection
Any questions regarding SOS procedures should be directed to the SOS Administrator (sos@uwosh.edu).
