Course Evaluations

Course Evaluations are managed through the Online Course Evaluations (OCE) system. At the end of each academic term, and once the evaluation submission deadline for students has passed, the University Registrar’s Office will send notification via e-mail to departmental chairs and faculty to announce that evaluations are available for viewing. 

Faculty are invited to add their own custom question to the standard questions on the evaluation form. To create a custom question, log into the custom question section of OCE, select your course from the pull-down menu, type in your question and submit it. Question submission deadlines and other important dates are listed below. The Registrar’s Office will send notification via e-mail when the system opens for custom question submission.

For comments and questions, email evaluate@yale.edu.
