Student Survey of Instruction in Canvas Instructions: Pilot 2026

At St. Petersburg College, the Student Survey of Instruction (SSI) is a survey students fill out at the end of each course to provide feedback on your experience. Your feedback is important, and all of your responses are completely anonymous. 

Certain Spring 2026 8 week 2 courses are part of a pilot for a new SSI program. If one of your courses is part of this pilot group, then this guide will provide information on how this process will work. 

Note: You may have one course using the new SSI system and one course using the old SSI system. This is expected. Please complete the SSI survey in all courses.
