The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is a trusted and widely used instrument for assessing the quality of undergraduate education—providing institutions diagnostic, actionable information that fosters and catalyzes evidence-based improvement efforts.

Recent enhancements to NSSE include:

Timely Topical Modules: As always, a comprehensive suite of Topical Modules is available, including inclusiveness and cultural diversity, and two new modules to assess quality in online education and career and workforce preparation
New Items on Effective Teaching: Beginning in 2021 the survey includes four new items related to effective teaching practices
Customizable End-of-Survey Prompt: Institutions may now append their own end-of-survey open-ended comment prompt as an alternative to NSSE’s four standard options
Content on Students' Sense of Belonging: Three items examining students' sense of belonging were added to NSSE in the 2020 administration
Free Portal/LMS Recruitment: The option to post individualized NSSE survey links in institutional portals and learning management systems is now available for no extra fee

Through its annual survey, NSSE asks first-year and senior undergraduates about their participation in educational practices that contribute to student learning and development. Optional Topical Modules enable institutions to investigate priorities such as academic advising, inclusiveness and engagement with diversity, global learning, civic engagement, and more.

Participating colleges and universities use NSSE results in accreditation self-studies and program reviews as well as to inform benchmarking efforts, faculty development, strategic planning, improvement initiatives, and recruiting campaigns.

Want to use unencumbered funds from the current fiscal year toward NSSE or FSSE 2022? Simply email your request for an early invoice to nsse@indiana.edu. (Institutions that pre-pay for NSSE or FSSE must still submit a registration request between July 1 and October 1; pre-payment does not automatically register participation.)

NSSE results are a great starting point to understand what is or is not working well in your institution. It's like a flashlight shining a path toward improving your students' success.
