2022 Noel Levitz Student Satisfaction Survey Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Student Satisfaction Survey?
VCU’s Student Satisfaction Survey is an important online tool that helps the administration identify students’ priorities, as well as the university’s strengths and challenges. The survey covers a range of topics including instruction, advising, safety, registration, financial aid, campus life, etc.
Why is it important?
The survey is important because it provides the collective voice of all VCU students on what is most important to them and how well VCU performs in those areas. It provides vital information for continuous improvement of our university.
Who is being asked to participate?
All undergraduate, graduate and first professional students at VCU are invited to participate in the survey.
How can I take the survey?
On February 2, 2022 each VCU student will receive a personalized link to the survey via email from Dr. Charles Klink, Senior Vice Provost for Student Affairs. Click on the link and you will be sent to a participation page. Then click on the “Start your survey” box. Additional instructions are included on this page.
