What it’s about--
This survey of IU Northwest faculty, staff and students is being conducted to assess and improve the services thatUniversity Information Technology Services (UITS) offers. Your judgments about the quality of our services are important because they help us identify the areas in which we are succeeding, point to the services we need to improve, and highlight the areas in which we need to offer new services. Your considered evaluation of our services is even more important because of the continuing reduction in funding for UITS and its services by the State. Please be assured that your answers are confidential and no individual's answers will ever be identified in any report. Your participation is voluntary. Your decision to participate will in no way affect your standing with the university. If you are interested in previous survey results, visit
