Do your students have access to adequate computing facilities to check e-mail and complete the Web version of NSSE?

Yes

No

Specific considerations
  • There are plenty of open labs for reading e-mail and several are open 24 hours.
  • Computers in labs have up-to-date browsers and are well-serviced and reliable.
  • Students generally don't have to wait in line to use computer facilities.
  • Many students have their own computer with an Internet connection and Web browser where they live.
  • Institution's e-mail (spam) filters can be adjusted to allow thousands of messages from NSSE through in a single day, based on technical details we provide.
