NSSE is now offering five of its most in-demand Topical Modules to help you gather valuable data from your undergraduate students, including:
You also have the flexibility to append demographic items and up to three custom fields, allowing you to tailor the experience to address your institution's specific needs.
This is an excellent opportunity for institutions to gain in-depth, targeted insights into key areas of student engagement, such as advising, career preparation, mental health, and inclusivity.
A school can choose 1 or 2 item sets and demographics. The survey is administered to students locally by each campus. Options for administration include, posting links to LMS, email, encouraging faculty/staff to promote completion, and providing opportunities in class for students to complete. Unlike NSSE, there is no population file or other materials that need to be uploaded.
Once registration is approved, institutions can administer NSSE Shorts at any time between March 1 and April 30. The survey close date cannot be extended.
Institutions can choose to use either institution-only specific links, student-specific links, or a combination of both.
For more information, refer to the NSSE Shorts Administration Instructions.
The administration fee for NSSE Shorts is all inclusive and allows an institution to select one or two item sets and demographic items. Invoices are sent after registration closes on March 21, 2025.
