E-Survey Support

VSU has established an enterprise account with the eSurveysPro service. The service is web-based; there is nothing to download or install. Each account holder has independent access to his/her surveys and data. Click here fo e nterprise account features. The service is available to faculty and students. However, student accounts are created only at the request of a student's professor.

Log-in Credentials: Initial passwords will be your PID, the first part of your email address.

Students who have an assignment to use eSurveysPro will get an account by request of the course professor. Do not send a request independently. Students who wish to create an account for a research endeavor apart from a particular course should have their advisor or major professor send a request for an account.

IRB: Anyone using eSurveysPro MUST comply with all requirements of the VSU Internal Revue Board for the protection of human research participant, for which all must complete modules 1-6 of a training program: www.citiprogram.org. Contact the IRB Administrator at 229-333-7837 (E-mail: irb@valdosta.edu) should you have any questions.

After your account is created, log in here with your VSU email address and for your initial password your PID, first part of your email address. You can click the Manage Account link in the menu to change your password. Then you can simply create a survey, either from scratch or with one of the templates, and begin playing with the program. The system is quite intuitive. If you need guidance, eSurveysPro has good tutorials and support.

Important Tips for Using eSurveysPro:

  • IMPORTANT: All of the links here to eSurveysPro use the .net URL, which should generate a like URL for your surveys. Their .com domain seems to be blocked by some service providers, so you should ensure your survey URL is the .net version.
  • Test your survey first before publishing it, with multiple respondents and locations. This data can be cleared.
  • Upon creation, the survey is closed. You can see this in the blue button of the status column of the manage surveys window. When you are ready to launch the survey, you must click the blue button to open the survey. Any time you change the survey or its settings, the survey is closed. After you have made your changes, you must then go back and open it for it to be accessible to users.
  • If respondents will be responding in a lab, at computers where others will be responding, do not choose the single response options in the survey settings.
