Survey Data

Survey Data provides federal and university mandated surveys reported based on a periodic schedule. University surveys report information of university-wide impact, data that meets university goals and data that is statistically viable. Please review the Planning and Assessment Survey Criteria prior to submitting a Data Request.


National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

The NSSE survey provides data about student engagement at UHCL compared with other peer group institutions. The NSSE survey is conducted once each year in the spring semester.  Data collected from the NSSE survey is also used in the annual UHCL Progress Card. Contact Planning and Assessment at assessment@uhcl.edu for additional information

Note: In previous years, only UHCL senior students were asked to participate by the NSSE survey. For NSSE 2016 and subsequent years, both UHCL first-year and senior students were asked to participate in the NSSE survey.
