Assess Your Adult Undergraduates and Graduate Students to Increase Their Satisfaction and Persistence

 

By using the Adult Student Priorities Survey (ASPS), you’ll see what’s important to your adult students and how satisfied they are, along with national benchmark comparison data.

The ASPS is part of the RNL Satisfaction-Priorities Surveys family and is appropriate for surveying adult students 25 years of age and older in:

  • Undergraduate programs
  • Graduate programs
  • Evening or weekend programs

The ASPS captures a variety of experiences at four-year institutions where the nontraditional student experience may be different than the on-campus traditional student experience, both inside and outside of the classroom, including:

  • Instructional effectiveness
  • Academic advising
  • Registration effectiveness
  • Campus climate
  • Safety and security
  • Recruitment and financial aid
