Assessing Student Life
CIRP Freshman Survey
The purpose of the CIRP Freshmen Survey is to gather information about student characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors prior to beginning their collegiate experience.
http://www.unh.edu/academic-affairs/assessments/cirpnsse.html
College Student Survey
This survey is a follow-up to the CIRP Freshmen Survey. Thus it is used to gather information about student characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors during their collegiate career. It is generally administered to graduating seniors.
http://www.unh.edu/student-life/assessment/css.htm
Educational Enrichment Evaluation
The Office of Student Life works with various individuals and offices within and outside the Division of Student Affairs to provide educational experiences for students. This evaluation is used to assess each of these enrichments.
http://www.unh.edu/student-life/assessment/edenricheval.htm
Peer Education Program Evaluation
This evaluation is administered after each Peer Education program that is facilitated by Health Services. The goal is to determine if the program was valuable, the presenters were knowledgeable, discussion was encouraged, and to gather general feedback about the program.
http://www.unh.edu/student-life/assessment/peereduc.htm
Student Profile Survey
This annual survey is administered to all students living in the residence halls in mid-late November. The response rate is consistently around 90%. The purpose is to understand their satisfaction with the academic and social environments on campus.
