FLEX (Feedback on the Learning Experience)

FLEX (Feedback on the Learning Experience) surveys are distributed each semester for graduate and undergraduate courses with 5 or more students enrolled. The administration of FLEX surveys is online through the Explorance Blue platform. Surveys are scheduled to be distributed toward the end of the course and close prior to the start of final grading for the course. 

When FLEX surveys become available, instructors and students are notified through email. Links to active surveys are also found in Brightspace and by accessing Explorance Blue directly at https://bentley.bluera.com.
