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!

Dear students,

Our Executive Leadership has requested that Saturday classes begin at 6:30 pm for the remainder of this semester in observance of the Sabbath and to facilitate students' timely attendance to classes. It has been challenging for many students to join classes promptly at 6:00 pm on Saturdays, resulting in missed learning and examination time.

This change in schedule which takes effect immediately. Also note that effective Summer 2025, all Saturday evening classes must be scheduled from 7:00 pm. Please be guided accordingly.

With thanks,
Dr. Sheilah Paul, Vice President Academic Affairs and Provost, UCC
