Anonymous Course Evaluation Survey - December 1 - 19, 2024
Please be advised that the Class Evaluation period has commenced, and we encourage you to participate to improve your academic and student life experiences at the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean. The University has partnered with the Student Council in revising the course evaluation survey and we are committed to using the results to improve academic experiences.

We are aiming for 70% of the student body from each class to respond to the survey as part of the internal quality assurance standards. YOUR FEEDBACK ensures that your degree meets all the quality assurance requirements and helps maintain our Institutional Accreditation Status with the University Council of Jamaica (UCJ).

Share Your Feedback Here: https://forms.gle/SeQvHFjBfmYEnZQT6

Once the course evaluation period is closed, you will receive access to view feedback shared by your peers. After which, you will be invited to determine and track action items raised by each class. Please be mindful that low student participation invalidates the survey and may not result in desired intervention strategies.

Your feedback is ANONYMOUS. The university & lecturers are unable to determine which students complete the survey. Your CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK is important to maintaining OUR UNIVERSITY ACCREDITATION STATUS!

👉🏻UCC Student Issues & Solutions Survey👈🏻

The SC board wishes to take action on the ongoing/newly developed issues that have been affecting our smooth student life experience. We've developed this anonymous survey for you to share your input on each issue. The statistics are important as the larger amount of students doing the survey, the more likely the university will take these concerns seriously.

Aim: 500 Students minimum. Please Share!

Here's a list of issues found in the survey:
- Many Inactive UCC Clubs
- Communication Crisis
- Class Evaluations
- Late Publication of EOSA Timetable Is Still Ongoing
- Lack of Past Papers
- Last Minute Visibility of Lecturers on Aeorion
- Mandated Face-to-Face Classes
- Courses Being Cancelled
- Late Release of Study Guide & Inaccuracies
- Grading Conditions, Grading System, Grade Forgiveness
- Capping Grades at 50% When Passing a Resit
- Redesigning The Graduation Certificate
- Annual Graduation Date
- Lack of Miscellaneous Fees Transparency
- Frequent Tuition Raise

UCC achieves full teaching status under university council and JTEC

Radio silence from administration about concerns leaves some staff fuming.
