»Course Evaluations

Students at Chapman University evaluate faculty members using an online platform called ClassClimate at the end of every term. Results of those evaluations for each class and instructor are emailed as a PDF attachment to every faculty member once the reports become available. Results of these paperless evaluations are generally sent to faculty members within two weeks after the date grades for the term were due.

Faculty members should save the PDFs with their course evaluation results for use in their annual reviews and e-portfolios for critical, tenure, and promotion review.

Faculty members are able to access the ClassClimate website only when there is no active data collection or open grading period. Because Chapman University has multiple academic calendars in operation simultaneously, we strongly suggest all faculty members review and store the PDF copies of their evaluation results that they receive via email, instead of relying on 'on-demand' access to the ClassClimate website. There are very few times during the year when the ClassClimate website is open to faculty members for direct downloads.

If we are in a period when no active data collection is in process, the results for the past six academic years can be downloaded directly through ClassClimate.

Evaluations older than six years must be requested by emailing survey@chapman.edu.

If you are a faculty member accessing your own evaluation results, please login using your Chapman username and password.

If you are a Dean or Chair accessing evaluation results for faculty in your area, please login using the special role-based username and password that was given to you. If you do not have this information, please email survey@chapman.edu.

Below are some documents with instructions on how to access ClassClimate. The documents located in "MyWindow" will require your Chapman login.

If you are no longer employed at Chapman University and need access to your course evaluations, please email survey@chapman.edu. With your name and the course numbers and sections, terms taught, along with the academic years, and we will assist you.
