Outcomes of Academic Advising Surveys

Student Outcomes of Academic Advising Survey

Faculty/Staff Outcomes of Academic Advising Survey

NACADA’s Center for Research at Kansas State University offers institutions two comprehensive assessments directly related to intended outcomes of academic advising—a student survey and a faculty/staff survey. Both are now available to institutions for administration in either the Fall or Spring of each year.

How are the surveys administered?

The surveys are administered through a secure, individualized Qualtrics platform by the NACADA Center for Research. Institutions receive a customized Institutional Results Report as well as an encrypted raw data file. Quantitative survey results are presented through unique PowerBI pages and interactive dashboards. Institutions are expected to analyze the qualitative data (responses to four open-ended questions) within their survey administration team. In addition to providing user guides to aid in data interpretation, NACADA Research Center staff also provide technical support throughout the process. Survey costs include a single survey administration.
