Survey

The Profile, an online survey designed to match your institution's Web presence, will take students approximately 20 minutes to complete. Survey sections are designed to get an accurate portrait of today's college student by understanding who they are, how they behave, and what they believe. All respondents are asked to complete the demographics section, as well as four out of nine randomly selected sections. The Profile's nine additional sections include academic involvement; academic integrity; campus involvement; health and wellness; technology use; media consumption; diversity issues; values and beliefs; and future aspirations. Your institution may also add one mandatory or optional section of institution specific questions.
