University Survey Support
University Survey Support (USS) assists in a coordinated approach to the surveying of student, alumni, faculty, and staff opinion. We offer general guidelines and advice in the development and administration of surveys.
USS will maximize the benefits from surveys on campus by:
- Acting as a consultant for departments/programs seeking to conduct surveys
- Eliminating redundant surveying
- Making survey instruments and results more available
- Consolidating campus survey results for consultation and further analysis to facilitate research, assessment, planning and external reporting
University Survey Support Requests
Consult the Planned Surveys & Timing spreadsheet to review information about prior and planned surveys. You may use this information to schedule your survey or to seek prior survey instruments or results.
Use the Campus Survey Form to request assistance from University Survey Support related to the design or administration of a planned survey.
USS has developed a process for Survey Endorsement to indicate that a survey has met USS standards for distribution, analysis and reporting. This endorsement demonstrates institutional support for your survey and may encourage higher response rates.
