While asking accreditation questions as custom questions is currently permitted, it is not considered best practice as the FCQ is designed to collect feedback on the course and the instructor. Conflating the FCQ and accreditation questions could be confusing to students completing the evaluation and contribute to survey fatigue. Collecting data for the Self-Study Report is the responsibility of the educational unit submitting the report for accreditation.
The FCQ program is unable to process these results as thoroughly as we do the core FCQ questions, as there are more than 1,000 active custom questions. Our first responsibility is to collect and post the core instrument items.
On request, we can provide you with the raw data for your custom questions.
We are not required to collect your accreditation data or responsible if there are technology failures that disrupt or prevent the collection thereof.
