First-Year and Transfer First-Year Surveys Begin October 2

First-year and transfer first-term surveys were launched yesterday. The surveys are part of DASA efforts to evaluate and improve the services provided to new NC State students. They help us to gain an understanding of students’ transition to NC State (both academically and personally), how they are engaging with the university, and what they thought of their experiences with Orientation, Wolfpack Welcome Week, Convocation, and the Common Reading Program.

In order to increase response rates and to improve the quality of the data, we need more students to hear about the survey directly from people with whom they already have a connection. Please encourage any first year and new transfer students that you work with to go online and take the survey and continue to remind them about it as October progresses.

Some additional details about the survey:

• The surveys are live from today (October 3) until Friday, October 27
• They shouldn’t take more than 10-15 minutes to complete
• Students that complete the survey can win a prize (money added to their all-campus cards), particularly if they complete the survey this week!
• Students can go directly to the surveys at the following links:
  • First-year Students – go.ncsu.edu/fy.first.term
  • Transfer Students – go.ncsu.edu/tr.first.term
