Steps
This article provides an overview of how to use the end-of-term course evaluations survey tool to see if you have surveys available/pending or see your past survey activity.
Course Evaluation Process Summary
- At the end of each term, students in course sections where surveys are being offered will receive notification and reminders in their GCC Email account!
- These GCC email notifications are received when the survey window opens, two to three weeks before the last day of class.
- These emails contain the selected course section information and links to the tool.
- The survey window closes at 11:59pm on the last day of class.
- Faculty cannot see who submitted what survey results and ratings are provided in aggregate form.
Do all students have access to the Course Evaluations tool?
Anyone who has ever been invited to or has taken a course evaluation survey can log into the tool at any time.
Accessing and navigating the Course Evaluations tool
Logging onto Course Evaluations
You will find a link to the tool from the myGCC > Student tab or within the GCC email notification and reminder emails you receive.
“Home” Menu Item
The Home menu item is also the landing page when you first log on to Course Evaluations.
Under its My Surveys section, if you have any course sections available/pending survey completion, they will be listed here. If you have no available/pending surveys, the section will be empty.
In the screenshot example below, the My Surveys section shows a student having one course section listed, ASL-101-57, that is available/pending survey completion:

NOTE: If you have surveys available/pending completion, click the Take Now button for each course section listed to proceed to its survey. Be sure to complete your survey(s) BEFORE the survey window closes at 11:59pm on the last day of class!
"Surveys" Menu Item
By clicking on the Surveys menu item, you are presented with a drop-down list of three different course evaluations reports you can view: Available Surveys, Completed Surveys, and Missed Surveys.

Available Surveys
This report provides a list of any course sections with open surveys available or pending completion by you.
If you have surveys available or pending completion, click the Take Now button for each course section listed to proceed to its survey. Be sure to complete your survey(s) BEFORE the survey window closes at 11:59pm on the last day of class! Surveys cannot be taken after their window closes.
Keep in mind:
- Surveys will not show available/pending until the survey window opens for that term (two to three weeks before last day of class).
- As soon as a survey is taken its status changes to completed.
- After the survey window closes for that term (11:59pm on the last day of class), any survey still in available/pending status is changed to a missed status and that survey can no longer be taken.
Completed Surveys
This report provides a list of any course sections you had completed surveys for in the past.
Missed Surveys
This report provides a list of any course sections you did not complete the survey for before its survey window closed.
“Help” Menu Item
