While Qualtrics allows you to create and program non-accessible survey questions, in compliance with the Illinois Information Technology Accessibility Act, the publishing of these survey types is automatically barred on most UIC user accounts which results in the "Activate Survey Failed" error message. If you are seeing the survey activation message below, your survey will not publish unless you request, and are granted an override.
See more about accessible questions in Qualtrics. If you must use an inaccessible question type, you will need to request the use of non-accessible question types on your Qualtrics account for the survey to publish.
