We know there are a lot of survey and form options out there. To keep things simple and compliant, we want to ensure forms adhere to FERPA and FSW security standards. In some cases, this means using a secure form requested through IT. Trying to get students to sign up for an event or club? Contact engage@fsw.edu to work through Bucs Corner.
Review the lists below to determine if the information you intend to collect must be on a secured form.
If you need an official secure form through IT (i.e., you want to collect the information in the Secured Form Required list below), please allow ample lead time, at least 4–6 weeks, for development. Requests can be submitted through the Information Technology Project Requests form.
