About IU's agreement with SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com) is an online survey tool where users can create accounts, design surveys, distribute them to an audience, and collect and analyze the responses. All surveys and data are hosted on SurveyMonkey's site and servers.
Indiana University has made an agreement with SurveyMonkey to provide discounts on Professional account subscription rates for IU departments, faculty, staff, and students wishing to use SurveyMonkey for online surveys. SurveyMonkey is IU's preferred online survey application, but departments and individuals may still use any vendor they choose.
SurveyMonkey offers SSL encryption for the survey link, survey pages, and exports during transmission. The university's discounted cost for the SSL encryption is an additional $50 per year. Examples of accounts that may need SSL encryption are those that must stay in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
Note: If your project involves research with human subjects, it will require prospective approval by the appropriate Indiana University Institutional Review Board (IRB); see Human Subjects.
Details of the agreement follow:
| Service | Regular price | Discount | IU price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Free to all users | N/A | N/A |
| Monthly subscription | $19.95 | none | N/A |
| Quarterly subscription | $59.85 | 50% | $29.85 |
| Annual subscription | $200 | 50% | $100 |
Discounts will be applied automatically to any email domain that belongs to IU upon sign-up for new accounts, or upon renewal for existing quarterly and annual accounts. To activate your account, register for a free Basic account, and then upgrade to the Professional account.
