NSSE Administration Mode Decision Aid

Does your institution have accurate e-mail addresses for all students?

Yes

No

Specific considerations
  • Students have institutionally-assigned e-mail addresses OR you have accurate e-mail addresses for all students.
  • Students use an e-mail system from which they can click on an embedded link (URL) to the NSSE survey.
  • Students maintain their own e-mail addresses on the system, thus keeping them current.
  • If uncertain about the viability of the e-mail addresses you have on record, consider a test mailing before choosing your administration mode.
