NSSE is the most popular undergraduate student survey in the U.S. Since 2000, over 1,600 colleges and universities have participated in the survey and approximately 5 million students have completed the survey, administered by the Indiana University School of Education, Center for Post-secondary Research. This survey collects data from first-year and senior students on learning and engagement related practices and activities.
Who can participate?
At UH Mānoa, a number of freshman and senior students are being invited to complete the survey.

If you are included in the survey sample, you will have received an email invitation from Provost Michael Bruno containing a link to complete the survey online. Please also check your spam folder, just in case it has been filtered out of your inbox.
