Fall Surveys Gather Input About Student Experience

This week, University of Scranton students, faculty and staff received invitations to take part in surveys designed to help the University better understand the student experience.

• The Noel Levitz Student Satisfaction Survey (SSI) is sent to all undergraduate and graduate students and asks them to share feedback about their experience at the University so far. They are provided with a comprehensive listing of various program and service areas that may be part of that experience, and indicate how important each is to them, and how satisfied they are.

• The Institutional Priorities Survey (IPS) is a companion instrument sent to faculty and staff. It mirrors the SSI in terms of the aspects of campus life and learning explored. In the IPS survey, faculty and staff are invited to indicate how important it is that the institution meet students’ expectations with the same items included in the SSI, and how well they think they are being met.

We are excited to obtain new data about what students, faculty, and staff think about the importance of, and how well we are meeting, student expectations across a variety of areas. This information will be used to support ongoing improvement activities, and will also be helpful to institutional planning, including the development of our next University-wide strategic plan.

Both surveys will be open through Nov. 30.

To take part, students, faculty and staff can click the personal survey link through their email. Alternatively, they may scan the Student and Faculty/Staff QR codes below, and, once entering their Royal ID No. (QR passcode), complete their survey.
