Uploads and other Add-On Features
There are certain features of Qualtrics (example: file uploads) which are not included
in the standard Qualtrics license. If you would like to pay to upgrade your account
to include one or more of these features, please contact the helpdesk (helpdesk@binghamton.edu). Alternatively, you may wish to pursue an alternative option like Google Forms,
which provides unlimited file uploads at no additional cost.
Binghamton University Compliance
Some surveys may be considered human subject research and require Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval prior to the initiation of the survey. In general, if your survey data is
only being collected for a class project, quality improvement project, departmental
evaluation, or social use, IRB approval may not be needed. However, if this survey
is for a research project (1) involving a systematic investigation with (2) the goal
of creating generalizable knowledge (i.e,. being able to apply the data to a broader
population and plan to publish or present the findings), IRB approval may be required.
Please visit Research Compliance for questions related to compliance.
