Ithaca College provides support for four principal form tools: Formstack, Microsoft Forms, Qualtrics, and Slate.

  • Formstack: Recommended for both straightforward and complex data gathering tasks. It's suitable for basic approvals, intricate workflows involving College faculty, staff, and students, and for processing online payments. For HIPAA-related data collection, Formstack HIPAA provides a specialized environment, though it lacks workflow functionality.

  • Qualtrics: Primarily utilized for survey creation and distribution.
  • Slate: Specifically tailored for student-focused data collection.
  • Additionally, Point & Click is available for collecting HIPAA-compliant information in certain areas.
