6. Enter your first and last name and create a password. This system is not connected with your WSU password, so you will be creating a unique password for Qualtrics. The password should be a strong password. Click the Create account button.

Step 2: Distribute Surveys

By default all accounts are created with 'Student level permission' this permission level can create surveys but cannot distribute surveys. You will need to have Professor Xi approve the upgrading of their Qualtrics account for distribution. Students should follow these steps.

  1. Create and share your survey with your supervising faculty or staff member (see Sharing Qualtrics surveys).
  2. Fill out the request form Upgrade Your Student Qualtrics Account
  3. Once your supervising faculty or staff member approves your request, your account will be upgraded.
