This article presents a case study that investigates several issues concerning the delivery of evaluation surveys in a large research-intensive university in Australia. The article touches on the issue of 'survey fatigue', which has been highlighted in relation to the conduct of an increased number and frequency of surveys in tertiary institutions. Despite these warnings, the university described in this case study has recently increased the number and frequency of evaluation surveys, while its survey response rates have been gradually decreasing since the late 1990s. The case study further outlines two strategies developed in the institution with the aim of engaging students better, subsequently increasing student survey response rates and ultimately improving educational provision in the institution. These strategies were supported further by adopting a more user-friendly platform for submission of online evaluation surveys and by providing students with alternative means of survey submission. The ease and coherence of the evaluation process in the institution was assisted further by the introduction of a new Survey Management System (SMS). All these strategies and initiatives have proved successful in the institution. Therefore, the article aims to provide some suggestions for other tertiary institutions dealing with similar issues. At the same time, it highlights the fact that individual institutional circumstances ought to be considered and such strategies need to be planned carefully according to the needs of the individual institution.
