Faculty Watch 2026
Now accepting campuses!
Faculty Watch provides insights into faculty perceptions and behaviors related to course materials. The survey explores the course material selection process, tracks faculty use of course materials, examines faculty attitudes toward the campus store, and explores emerging topics affecting higher education. Faculty Watch is based on information self-reported by faculty across the U.S. and participating institutions in Canada.
Value in Participating
There is no cost to participate in Faculty Watch, and every participating campus receives valuable data to better understand faculty perspectives. Participants receive aggregate reports and data tables highlighting national trends, along with campus-specific data that can be used to compare results and make more informed decisions. Participation requires very little time—schools simply share the survey link with faculty, while OnCampus Research handles survey administration, data analysis, reporting, promotional resources, and faculty incentives.
What You'll Receive
- Individual campus results in the form of a customized data table.
- Aggregate reports featuring national trends, historical context, key takeaways, data tables, and graphs.
- Gift card incentives awarded by OnCampus Research to one randomly selected faculty respondent from each participating campus.
- Promotional resources, including email templates, social media posts, flyers, and a QR code to help promote the survey.
Getting Started Is Easy
Your only responsibilities are to:
