USC Qualtrics

Qualtrics is a web-based survey system that USC subscribes to, so there is no cost for faculty, staff, or students to use it. Qualtrics features a rich set of tools to support simple to complex survey constructs, survey flows, and reporting. Viterbi IT provides introductory training and tutorials for Qualtrics. Below are some tutorials and help pages. Please contact us at the Viterbi Service Desk with additional questions or problems you encounter.

All USC faculty, staff, and students can log in using their USCNet ID and password through https://usc.qualtrics.com
