Data collection and analysis
Student Success and Retention (SSR) conduct an analysis of all exit surveys (both formal exit surveys and those related to leaves of absence), along with student demographic and institutional data, during the fall term. The analysis covers data from the fall census date to the next fall census date. The resulting report is prepared for the Associate Provost of Student Academic Engagement and Success and shared with other administrators.
Once the fall census date has passed, we close the previous year's survey and start using a new survey for the upcoming year.
Data sharing for continuous improvement
In the spring term, the Student Success and Retention presents their findings from the analysis. Based on these findings, the SSR team makes any necessary changes to the survey during the summer.
Request a presentation of exit survey data or data related to your university unit by sending an email to Student Success and Retention office at - ssr@smu.edu
