This follow-up
survey is administered to the group
of students who had been surveyed during
their participation at “Getting Started” during
their incoming freshmen year four years
earlier. This is a survey designed

probable fields of study, senior self-rating,
activities engaged in during past year,
objectives considered to be essential
or very important, political orientation
and opinions, as well as senior satisfaction
with the University of North Dakota. This
survey is carried out in an effort
to track students’ progress toward
graduation after their four-year study
at UND. The findings of this
study are presented with students’ responses
as freshmen and four years later, and
how they compare with their national
counterparts from public universities.
The last survey was conducted in the

The Faculty Survey
of Student Engagement (FSSE) was constructed
to parallel the National Survey of
Student Engagement-The College Student
Report (NSSE). The faculty version
focuses on: Faculty perceptions of
how often their students engage in
different activities, the importance
faculty place on various areas of learning
and development, the types of interactions
faculty have with students, and how
faculty members organize class time.
The pilot test of the FSSE was administered
electronically as a web-only survey
in spring 2003. The second iteration of this survey was conducted in Spring 2007. |

The College Student
Inventory (CSI) is a self-assessment
tool used as part of the Noel-Levitz
Retention Management System that asks
students to reflect on academic, personal,
and social experiences and perspectives.
There are one hundred questions in
this inventory that provide analyzed
results about academic motivation,
sociability, and receptivity to institutional
help. The 1,884 incoming students that
participated in the 2002 summer orientation
were informed that completing the CSI
was voluntary, and 1,722 (873 male
and 849 female) completed the CSI survey.
The university used the program to
create a model for identifying students
who were most likely to be at risk,
and also implemented training programs
for preparing academic advisors with
specific intervention strategies. This
CSI information helps students reflect
on how to maximize their college experience,
helps academic advisors identify students
with particular concerns, and gives
the Enrollment Management Team a snapshot
of our first year students as a group.
CSI was conducted again in 2003 (1,998
participants), 2004 (1,687 participants), 2005 (1,481 participants), and 2006 (1536 participants). |

The Campus Quality
Survey is an instrument sponsored by
Performance Horizons that was developed
by adapting categories used in the
prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award and the Presidential
Award for Quality to fit the educational
environment. The survey instrument
offered 91 statements including 10
North Dakota University System (NDUS)
questions for faculty and staff to
respond to. Participants are asked
to rate the University of North Dakota
from two perspectives: How It Is Now
and How It Should be for the items
based on how they feel the programs,
services, and activities are currently
meeting the needs of students and employees.
The last two surveys were conducted

The University
of North Dakota and Board of Higher
Education are coordinating a Student
Satisfaction Inventory developed by
Noel-Levitz for all levels of students
at 11 state universities and colleges.
This survey collects information about
the experiences of our students. The
Student Satisfaction Inventory measures
students' satisfaction with a wide
range of college experience. Students
rate each item in the inventory by
the importance of the specific expectation
as well as their satisfaction with
how well that expectation is being
met. A performance gap is then determined
by the difference in the importance
rating and the satisfaction rating.
At the University of North Dakota,
11,415 students received the Student
Satisfaction Inventory by mail in October
2002. An overall net response rate
of 9 percent was attained. A new web-based
SSI survey has been conducted in spring
2004. The net response rate has reached
30%. Among 73 statement items, 65 items
showed significantly higher satisfaction
than the national norms. A web-based
survey was conducted
in spring 2006. |

The Your First
College Year (YFCY) Survey is part
of a national study for use at the
end of the first college year as a
follow-up survey to the annual Cooperative
Institutional Research Program (CIRP)
Freshman Survey that is administered
at the end of their first year. YFCY
includes 21 measures of student satisfaction
with curricular and co-curricular experiences,
campus facilities, and student services.
YFCY also asks students to rate how
successful they feel in adjusting to
several aspects of the first college
year. It yields data that can be used
to improve the effectiveness of academic
and CO-curricular programs, retention
rates, and learning outcomes. At the
University of North Dakota, 1,106 first-year
(576 male and 530 female) students
received the 2002 YFCY Survey by mail

The employer satisfaction
is part of the accountability measures of the "Roundtable
Report" that were enacted by the 2001 and 2003 North Dakota
legislatures. The North Dakota University System have partnered
with the firm of Noel-Levitz to conduct this survey. All
other 10 North Dakota University System institutions are
participating in this survey as are other U.S. universities
and colleges. The collection of information from employers
about graduates is vital and appropriate to a university's
understanding of whether it is successful in meeting its
educational goals. The survey was first conducted in fall
of 2004 and then in spring of 2006. |
