National Survey of Student Engagement

National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
Spring 2023 Administration

This survey collects information about the experiences of undergraduate students in their first year and senior year from over 600 institutions across the US and Canada. Respondents are asked to share their perceptions about UW-Whitewater related to their academic activities as well as their interactions with faculty. The findings from this survey are used at UW-W to understand and improve the undergraduate experience.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary. All responses to the survey are kept confidential and the data collected will be reported in the aggregate. For specific information how participants are treated, what they can expect should they choose to participate, and their rights to withdraw from the survey, please read the NSSE Consent Agreement.

The 2023 NSSE Survey was administered between March 1, 2023 and May 15, 2023. Undergraduate students who are either in their first-year at UW-W or have achieved senior standing by the beginning of the Fall 2022 semester were invited to participate.

UW-W participates in the NSSE survey on a three-year cycle. The last time that the NSSE was administered at UW-W was Spring 2023. For more information on the results of previous NSSE surveys, please review the results linked below.

UW-W participated in the NSSE in Spring 2023 as part of a UW System consortium. As a result, the 2023 survey contained a few additional questions especially designed for students in the UW system.

NSSE is being conducted by UW-W and the Center for Postsecondary Research (CPR) at Indiana University at Bloomington. The CPR is a national organization that has conducted the NSSE survey since 2000. CPR reports the results of the survey in its own publications, as well as in other venues, such as the Chronicle of Higher Education.

If you have any questions about UW-W’s participation in this survey, please contact Institutional Research, Assessment and Planning at 262-472-5671 or irp@uww.edu.
