Blue 9 Updated Features
On May 30, 2025 we updated the Blue survey platform to the latest version. Blue 9 has some important changes:
New Links
Please use the “rutgers.edu” links for the Blue system. The links to “bluera.com” that you received in emails prior to June 2025 will have changed and may no longer work.
- Login for all students, instructors and administrators: https://sirs.rutgers.edu/blue
- SIRS date changes and adding questions: https://sirs.rutgers.edu/manageSIRS

New Home Page Design
- A top menu to take you to Reports or current survey Tasks.
- Important Links in the boxes on the left-hand side
- Quick access to the most recent reports
- Unified accounts – Blue will show all available resources to people with multiple roles, with no need to choose the role (for example, instructors who are also students, or also administrators)

- A filter row along the top to narrow down reports
- The ability to download multiple reports from more than one semester all at the same time.
