Updates to FCQ results are frozen after an administration closes for the sake of data security and integrity. If you need to update instructor or course information after an FCQ evaluation has been completed are difficult, but not impossible, depending on the needs…
The FCQ program makes every effort to ensure that correct courses and instructors are evaluated, including:
Using official course/instructor data from CU-SIS
Providing course audits for department review prior to administration
Allowing for courses to be updated any time during the FCQ window
We are also responsible for protecting data integrity, so once evaluations are collected, the data are practically untouchable. This is a technical issue as much as an integrity issue. We will only be able to make changes in rare situations.
If a change is needed after administration has closed or reports have been released, contact the FCQ program. FCQs have closed, contact the FCQ program. In some cases, we can make updates to course or instructor information, but it is not always possible.
There is no guarantee that change requests can be accommodated.
We provide multiple opportunities to update information and are hesitant to make changes post-administration without a compelling reason.
This is a technical issue as much as it is an integrity issue. We are able to easily update/add/remove courses and instructors up to and during the FCQ window until it closes. However, once closed, the data is frozen, and it is difficult to remove. We will only be able to make changes in certain situations, such as removing an instructor who did not actually teach the courseThe surest way to get accurate course and instructor information is to confirm class data prior to administration.
An initial course audit is generated and posted online at the start of the semester and is updated daily during the three-week course audit period (in March, June and October respectively). Please review all courses to verify that the information is accurate and make any updates that are needed, including:
Instructor name
Course start and end dates
Whether or not class should be evaluated
Whether all instructors for a course should be evaluated or if any should be excluded
Is the course stand-alone or combined with other sections
Do the administration dates work for your early ending courses or do they need to be adjusted
Changes can also be made at any time during the FCQ window, but are unlikely after the window has closed.

Ensure that all course information is accurate prior to FCQ administration by referring to the course audit often. Changes may not be possible after the administration has closed. |
