How does the University encourage students to complete their course evaluations?

Email reminders

Email reminders with a direct link to Mercury are sent on behalf of the Deputy Provost (Student Life and Learning) to all students with course evaluations to complete. Once students complete or decline their course evaluations, they stop receiving these reminders.

  • Default period: 6 or 7 email reminders

  • Condensed period: 4 email reminders

  • Custom evaluation periods: 2 or 3 email reminders (3 are sent if the evaluation period exceeds 21 days)

  • The instructor receives an email alert when the evaluation period opens.

While this web page is accessible worldwide, Â鶹AV is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
