FAQs
Are my evaluation responses anonymous?
Yes, your evaluation responses are anonymous as long as you do not self-disclose or identify yourself in your responses. Additionally, evaluation reports are not released to faculty members until all grades for all courses have been submitted for the semester.
Important reminder: Please be aware of potential unconscious and unintentional biases you may have as you complete your evaluations. Focus on your opinions related to the content of the course and your learning rather than the specific or unrelated personal attributes of your professor.
How do I access and navigate the online course evaluation system?
You will use your Lafayette SSO to login to the Anthology Course Evaluations system. The login link can be found at multiple access points:
- By following the “Anthology Course Evaluations Login” link in the right-side menu of this webpage.
- Under the “Taking Classes” block through MyLafayette.
- By following the login link in any automated email sent by Anthology Course Evaluations (sender name: Laf Course Evals).

When will the automated reminder emails stop being sent to me?
Either when all of your evaluations are completed or at the end of the evaluation period, whichever comes first.
When will I complete my evaluations?
Check the Important Dates page for information about upcoming open periods for course evaluations. During the open period, you may complete evaluations at any time.
Your professors will likely reserve class time for you to complete your evaluations and they may request that you defer completing evaluations until a specific day in the open period.
If you need to edit your evaluation responses, you may do so at any point in the open evaluation period.

What if some of my courses are missing?
Individualized learning courses (theses, independent studies, etc) and courses with enrollment below 5 students are not evaluated. Students who are auditing a course (taking for non-credit) do not evaluate courses.
If none of those circumstances are true and a course of yours is still missing, contact your faculty member and ask them about whether or not the course should be listed for evaluation. Your professor may be providing an alternate evaluation tool of their own choosing or they may have approval for this particular course to not be evaluated this semester.
If your professor says the course should be listed in the course evaluation system, they should email courseevals@lafayette.edu to notify the Course Evaluations team of the situation.
I am unable to login to the course evaluations site. What do I do?

I logged into Anthology Course Evaluations and there is a class listed from which I withdrew. What do I do?
Double check that you officially withdrew from the course and the withdrawal is reflected in Banner.
If the course is listed as a withdrawal on Banner, but is still showing up in the online evaluation system, contact courseevals@lafayette.edu for assistance.
