What is the change?

Starting on June 3, 2026, all newly created surveys will automatically default to the New Survey Taking Experience (NSTE). We are making this change because NSTE is our modernized survey design. It is built to be faster, more mobile-responsive, and highly accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA compliant). Any new features (e.g. new question types, security options) will only be supported on NSTE going forward.

Existing live surveys will not be affected or visually altered. Copying an old survey or importing a QSF file will preserve the original layout and theme settings, meaning a copy of a Legacy survey will remain Legacy.

Hello,

Please be advised of upcoming changes to weekly email limits for Memorial’s Qualtrics customers.

What is the change?

On October 29, 2025, Qualtrics will be setting a weekly email limit for all Academic brands.

This measure is critical for keeping email deliverability high and protecting against security risks. Since maintaining a good sender score is a shared responsibility, please refer to this Qualtrics Support page for guidance on how to improve your sender reputation.
