ACADEMIC ADVISING SURVEY
(for Students)
Please help us to improve the quality of academic advising at our college by completing this survey thoughtfully and honestly. Your reasons or explanations for your ratings enable you to justify or explain your rating, and enable us to understand why you chose to rate the item as you did. Your comments also provide advisors with the type of specific feedback they need to make improvements.
Your comments will remain confidential. Also, the questions about your age, gender, and class standing at the beginning of the survey are not meant to identify you personally; instead, they will be aggregated (combined) across different students and presented to your advisor in summary form—for the purpose of providing your advisor with feedback on how different student subgroups perceive the quality of advising they are receiving.
Thanks in advance for your help. We will read your comments carefully, consider them seriously, and make an earnest attempt to improve the quality of academic advising for all present and future students at our college.
Sincerely,
