Welcome & About This Survey
DESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH
We’re asking students to share their experiences and plans to help colleges better support students. Your voice matters! What you share can lead to real improvements in programs and services.
WHAT WILL MY PARTICIPATION INVOLVE?
This survey takes about 15 minutes. You can skip any questions you don't want to answer.
ARE THERE ANY RISKS TO ME?
We work hard to protect your information by storing it on a secure server (Alchemer). However, like with any online survey, there's always a small chance of a data breach.
ARE THERE ANY BENEFITS TO ME?
While there's no direct benefit to you, your responses will help college leaders and support programs better understand what students need when transferring to four-year colleges. This could improve services for future students.
WILL I BE COMPENSATED FOR MY PARTICIPATION?
When you complete the survey, you can choose to enter a drawing to win one of ten $100 gift cards. If you want to enter, we'll ask for your email address so we can contact you if you win. We'll only use your email for the drawing - nothing else. Entering the drawing is completely optional.
HOW WILL MY CONFIDENTIALITY BE PROTECTED?
Your privacy is very important to us. Your name will not be used in any publications of this study. Only group data will be published.
All of the information collected in this study will be treated confidentially. Survey data will be stored on Alchemer (this survey platform)'s secure server. After the incentives have been awarded, we will destroy your contact information.
Please note that survey responses will be provided to the college you identify in this survey. This information is shared with your college to support colleges with their efforts in understanding and helping students with their needs. At the end of the survey, you will be given an option to provide your college-assigned student ID. Doing so will allow your college and statewide researchers to explore patterns between students’ survey responses and their longer-term outcomes. If you prefer to remain anonymous, please leave this question blank.
WHO CAN I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
