COLLEGE SURVEYS

The Research and Reporting Department coordinates the college's participation in institutional survey research for the purpose of decision-making and planning in areas such as student services, facilities, and instruction.

Vendor survey instruments often give us the option of adding a few questions of our own to the end of the survey. The final set of questions is determined by the Institutional Research Board (IRB), based on college needs and priorities. If you have suggestions for areas to include in our "local" questions for an upcoming survey, please email the Research and Reporting Department.

If you are in need of information from one of our regular surveys, please contact the Research and Reporting Department. Information that is on hand will be shared with requestors as appropriate.
