First, make sure you are using the correct URL to access Qualtrics: https://brock.ca1.qualtrics.com
If that isn’t the problem, try a different browser. If you have multiple accounts (a student and a staff account), it’s possible that your browser has cached the credentials for your other account and is preventing you from successfully logging into your account. ITS recommends that you always use separate browsers for each account you have.
If you are still having trouble logging into your account, contact the ITS Help Desk.
