What is Poll Everywhere?
Poll Everywhere is an audience response technology based on web and cellular networks, which means the students or audience members can provide feedback using a device of their choosing.
CETS currently supports two versions of Poll Everywhere:
- Higher ed free
- University-wide
Higher ed free Version
You are not required to contact CETS to use the Higher ed free version of Poll Everywhere. You can set up a poll using the Higher ed free version at the following website:
The Higher ed free version has two important limitations:
- There is a limit of 40 participants per poll.
- All responses are anonymous.
This makes the Higher ed free version inappropriate for use with large audiences and in instances where the user's identity is necessary (e.g., taking attendance).
University-wide Version
To bypass the limitations of the Higher ed free version, simply Contact CETS to get set up with the University-wide enterprise level license at no additional cost.
Student Registration
This feature is only supported with the University-wide license obtained from CETS. Students must be added manually. More information can be found at the following website in the student registration section:
