Report deliverables
The reporting deliverables from RNL include a wealth of data automatically. We will deliver your calculated data in the RNL Client Portal, with a variety of reporting formats available to you to review and analyze your student feedback.
The deliverables include:
- The Main Report: Compare your institution’s survey results to the national comparison group or in some cases a regional comparison group. Your institutional strengths (items with high importance and high satisfaction) as well as your specific challenges (high importance and low satisfaction) are clearly identified.
- The Year to Year Report: Compare your most recent survey administration with a previous administration so you can see where satisfaction levels have shifted significantly over time.
- Comparison Report: Allows you to isolate the data by specific demographic subpopulations to provide you with a better understanding of the perceptions of subsets of your overall population.
- Versus Report: Compare two demographic subpopulations to each other, to see where one group may be significantly more or less satisfied than another group.
- Single Group Report: Allows you to isolate the data by a specific demographic subpopulation and compare it with the corresponding demographic subpopulation on the national level.
- Raw data files: Reflect all of the individual responses to each survey item as well as the demographic responses for additional analysis on campus.
- Open ended comments: Captured with online administrations, the comments provide qualitative information from your surveyed population.
