Opt-out of Sharing Winter 2025 and Summer 2025 SRI Results

Deadline is January 5, 2026

If you taught during the Winter 2025 and/or Summer 2025 terms, you’ll soon receive information about the release of your Student Ratings of Instruction (SRI) results. These quantitative results will be made available to students online—unless you choose to opt out.

The opt-out period began Monday, November 17, 2025 and closes Monday, January 5, 2026.  The release of the Winter and Summer 2025 SRI datasets to the student portal will by January 9, 2026.

Last time, some members missed the deadline and their results were shared automatically. All members are encouraged to opt out.

While the University of Manitoba still uses SRIs as a tool for evaluating teaching, these surveys are widely recognized as flawed and biased. They lack context and do not accurately reflect teaching effectiveness. Even the University’s own Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning and senior administration have acknowledged these issues. Additionally, the response rate is typically poor. For the last three semesters, the average response rate was a little under 30% as reported in Senate. Despite this, the administration plans to display SRI scores to students on UM Learn—risking further misuse and misunderstanding of this data. Opting out is the most effective way to push back against this practice and to protect how your teaching is represented.

Complete the forms before the January 5, 2026 deadline.
