Campus Contacts

NSSE campus contacts are the people on your campus directly responsible for managing NSSE for your institution. These designated individuals are granted access to NSSE’s secure, online portal, the Institution Interface, designed for managing the administration. Via the Institution Interface, campus contacts register for NSSE, select all customization options, monitor data collection, and access data and reports. Throughout the year, they receive communications aimed at guiding survey administration and stimulating data use. They also serve as NSSE’s main point of contact beyond survey administration, receiving notice of Annual Results: Engaging Insights and periodic newsletters, invitations to webinars, and notification of new resources and opportunities.

To register, NSSE requires a minimum of two campus contacts, without exception, to ensure that NSSE can reach a campus contact when needed. Assignments for these two roles, the Campus Project Manager (CPM) and the Campus Administration Contact (CAC), should be unique individuals.

If your institution has administered NSSE previously, ensure campus contacts listed with NSSE are up to date so campus personnel receive notification when registration opens. Current campus contacts can edit the contact list on the Institution Interface.

Campus Contacts with Access to Institution Interface

This person is the primary contact for NSSE staff and is directly responsible for preparing survey materials (e.g., recruitment messages and population files). The CPM is included on all email communications from NSSE.

This person is the secondary contact for NSSE staff and should provide oversight and coordination for NSSE-related surveys on your campus. The CPM is included on all administration-related email communications from NSSE.

The Auxiliary Campus Contact is an optional, third contact that can provide support to the CPM and CAC. The ACC is not included in email bulletins from NSSE but has full access to the Institution Interface.

Campus Contacts without Access to Institution Interface

The IT contact will receive important information about ensuring successful delivery of email messages to students on your campus but does not have access to the Institution Interface.

Invoices will be sent directly to the CPM, but a Billing Contact may be added if your campus prefers the NSSE invoice to be mailed to someone other than the CPM. The billing contact does not have access to the Institution Interface and provides no management for the NSSE administration.

The Executive Contact (e.g., president of your institution) will be sent NSSE Annual Results but does not have access to the Institution Interface and will not be sent any administration-related emails.
