Department Chairs & Program Directors

CIF Blue at Notre Dame

Reflects our dedication to listening to student feedback. By engaging in course evaluations, students can express their views, highlight successes, and identify areas for improvement. This feedback shapes not only their own educational experience but also benefits future students, ensuring that the university continually adapts its teaching to meet student needs and enhance classroom effectiveness.

CIF Blue System

To access CIF Blue,  navigate to the CIF Blue site The home page will display any available Data Integrity Gateway (DIG) tasks you have available. For assistance in navigating the CIF Blue system or on how to review your course designations, you can review the CIF Blue - DIG User Guide.

Once surveys are live, you will also have tasks that allow you to view real-time response rates for each given survey and across your department at the aggregate level. The day after grades are due for a given term, you will have tasks that allow you to view available reports at the course-instructor level and at the department level. For more information on timing of tasks, see Key Dates.
