How to Use the UACE Common Measures Survey Builder

The UACE Common Measures Survey Tool allows Cooperative Extension staff to quickly and easily design surveys to evaluate their programming drawing on a consistent set of questions. Survey results can be used for local program planning and improvement, grant writing, and communicating the importance and value of programs to stakeholders.

Need printed copies of your survey?

In addition to exporting your survey into Qualtrics, you can also create a paper version of the survey. First, you will need to enter the code at the bottom of the Survey Builder page to ensure you are an actual user and not a spambot. Then select the “Download Paper Survey” button at the bottom of the page. You will see a dialog box open, with the file “survey.zip” included. Save this to an appropriate location on your computer. Open that zip file, and select the “paper_survey.docx” file which is your paper survey
