Surveys and Results

Surveys and evaluations are used for data gathering and assessment/measurement of program objectives, College services and facilities, and institutional effectiveness.  Information gleaned from these surveys and evaluations is used to report demographic/outcomes data to state and regional agencies, as well as to assist departments in improving the quality of programs and services. *** Note to Readers:  Surveys and results will be added to or updated on this web page periodically. However, due to confidentiality, not all will have results posted, nor will individual comments from survey respondents be listed.  If you are looking for a particular survey, evaluation, or set of results, please check with the department/contact person listed or with the Office of Planning & Institutional Assessment for more information.

Note to VC Faculty/Staff:  If you are responsible for a particular survey for your class, program, support services area, etc., but do not find your information represented here, please let me know. The goal is to make this page as comprehensive as possible, with at least a link to a blank survey instrument and overall results, if they can be shared with the public. We will not reveal anything via this survey page that you do not wish to share. Also, if you do have a survey represented on this page but the information is outdated, let me know. For all inquiries and/or to make additions or updates, please contact Joyce Miller. *** Surveys and results/reports are in XLS, HTML or PDF format.  You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view files that are in PDF format.  If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it for free by clicking here.
