IASystem review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

IASystem is a web-based course evaluation system for colleges and universities. Provided by the University of Washington Institutional Assessment & Evaluation team, it supports online and paper evaluations, instructor evaluations, response-rate tracking, and customizable questions for institutions, colleges, departments, and instructors. It also supports cross-listed courses and evaluations involving multiple instructors, making it suitable for institutions managing varied academic structures.

Pricing is based on annual FTE student enrollment and institution-wide access rather than individual users. The six annual organizational license categories range from $1.59 to $1.90 per enrolled student, billed annually, and each includes unlimited courses evaluated during the license period. Category 1 is $1.90, Category 2 is $1.85, Category 3 is $1.79, Category 4 is $1.74, Category 5 is $1.64, and Category 6 is $1.59 per enrolled student. An additional $5,404 one-time setup fee covers initial setup for online or paper licensing. This structure suits institutions prioritizing low per-student cost, but the setup charge matters for budget planning.

IASystem’s reporting and analysis capabilities are a central strength. Institutions can produce individual and combined course summaries, administrative high/low reports, ratings summaries, survey lists, and semicolon-delimited administrative data exports. Institution-specific norms, adjusted medians, and reliability analysis support comparison and statistical review. LTI access connects the system with Canvas, Blackboard, and other learning management systems, while a web API supports custom campus integrations; student portals are also supported. Choose IASystem when institution-wide evaluation, benchmarking, and reporting depth matter more than anonymous feedback or individual-user purchasing.
