To gain a better understanding of the incoming transfer students and their needs, the Office of Planning, Analytics & Institutional Research (PAIR) administers the Transfer Student Survey (TSS) to all incoming students transferring from another institution. The Transfer Survey also contains questions from the Orientation office; the instrument and results presented below contain only PAIR specific questions.
Methodology
Survey responses are gathered beginning in March for the incoming Fall transfers. Students receive a link to complete the Transfer Student Survey as part of the One Book process through orientation.
