Faculty discussions spark some rigorous debates about the validity and reliability of the NSSE... But in the main, we value the information, attend to it, and move to create ways to shore up the soft areas exposed by the reports.

Population File Instructions
Population specification is the first and most important step for an effective survey process. The links below provide detailed instructions on population definitions and instructions for compiling the data file. Schools using the Paper and Web+ modes need address information not required for Web-Only mode, so please be sure to use the instructions appropriate for your administration.
If you are not administering NSSE this year and are unsure what mode you would use, consult our interactive decision aid to determine which would be best for you.
