CUSC-CCREU encourages institutions to use incentives to increase response rates. The number of incentives, the type, and the amount is decided by the institution. It is the institution’s responsibility to purchase the incentives, notify the winners, and distribute the incentives. Indicate on the Registration whether your institution will use incentives.
If your institution is using incentives, indicate on the Registration how respondents should be chosen and the incentive draw date(s). You may choose:
1. PRA does random draws from respondents and sends them to you.
Based on what’s said about incentives in your email invitation and reminders, PRA will draw the appropriate number of winners from students who completed the survey on the date(s) that you choose for your institution. Multiple students can be selected in each draw. These students’ names and email addresses will be sent to your institution’s primary contact. Included in your survey results package fees are 2 random draws. There is an additional cost for more than 2 draws. For example, if an institution wants to do three early bird draws on 3 different dates, and then a final draw when the survey closes on another date (a total of 4 draws), there is a charge for the 2 additional draws.
OR
2. PRA sends lists of respondents to you for random draws.
On the incentive date(s) stated in your Registration, PRA will compile the list of students that completed the survey and send their names and email addresses to you. Then you randomly draw the appropriate number of winners, notify them, and distribute the incentives. PRA will compile and send list(s) on the date(s) that you choose to your institution’s primary contact. There is an additional cost to the participating institution to have PRA compile and send more than 2 lists.
