Technology Feedback Survey Results

Technology enriches your University experience

The University community uses technology every day to advance their studies, research, and work. In 2025, 5,954 staff, faculty, and students responded to the IT@UMN Technology Feedback Survey. They shared feedback about technologies they use to do their work—like Google Workspace, Canvas, Wifi, Zoom, and more—if you participated in the survey, thank you! Technology is here to make what you do possible.

In addition to the survey responses, we receive ongoing feedback through our Technology Help interactions. In 2025, we responded to 174,080 Technology Help ticket requests
