First-year Student Experience Survey Data

Beginning in 2022 and continuing each semester afterward, we have conducted an optional survey via MyCLU with first-year students. Data for both fall and spring semesters are presented in the charts below. 

Fall Survey

This survey is made available to all registered students in the first-year class, during a one-week survey period in fall semester of their first year. 

Spring Survey

This survey is made available to all registered first-year students, during a one-week survey period in spring semester of their first year.
Question 1 is identical to the fall survey, whereas Question 2 is unique to each year's spring survey.
