Universal Student Ratings of Instruction (USRI) is a survey adopted by the University that evaluates all credit courses.

The University recognizes that "there should be regular and systematic evaluation" of courses, and that "students are an essential source of insight into effectiveness of educators" (USRI Reports and Recommendations 1998)

Introduced in the Fall of 1998, the USRI provides a forum for student feedback to instructors, department heads and deans about the overall quality of instruction. Information gathered from the surveys is used by instructors, deans and department heads to improve instruction at the University of Calgary and in performance feedback. Students can access previous results to assist them in their course selection.
