See the Items on the Satisfaction-Priorities Surveys
All of the RNL Satisfaction-Priorities Surveys (SPS) assess both the level of importance and the level of satisfaction that students assign to a variety of statements about their experience. This combination of data allows an institution to view satisfaction within the context of what truly matters to students.
The survey instruments are comprehensive, capturing the student experience inside and outside of the classroom, including items in such areas as:
- Instructional effectiveness
- Academic advising
- Registration effectiveness
- Campus climate
- Recruitment and financial aid
Dive into responses by demographics and satisfaction indicators
In addition, the surveys capture summary satisfaction indicators (which have been linked to individual student retention and institutional graduation rates) as well as standard demographic items which allow for the ability to slice the results by demographic subpopulations.
Add your own customized questions
Each survey version allows for customization with the addition of campus-defined items rated for importance and satisfaction, demographic indicators, and a drop-down list for the majors/programs offered at the institution.
