FROM THE OFFICE OF THE STUDENT VOICE COMMITTEE

Hello,

The Student Voice Committee has been looking into the usage of external third-party programs, where students pay out-of-pocket in order to access content relating to the course. Typically, these programs are utilized for laboratory or supplementary course work.

Therefore, the Student Voice Committee wishes to survey students on their views in terms of cost, importance in understanding class material, and more. By filling out this 2-5 minute survey, you are making your voice heard upon this important issue and entering into a raffle for a $20 Amazon Gift Card.

Survey Link: https://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0j6Tj1gQQ2Jw2vs

If there are any questions relating to the survey, email asucrsvc at ucr.edu.

Sincerely,

Brian Gao

Student Voice Committee Vice Chair
