Internal Surveys

Financial Wellness Survey

The Financial Wellness Survey was administered in the fall semester of 2019 to a representative sample of currently enrolled, degree-seeking undergraduate students.

• Financial security and well-being,
• Financial literacy and behavior,
• Paying for school, and
• Perception and use of campus support.

This report provides aggregate response by campus and key demographic attributes as well as additional information about how the survey was administered.

NSSE Survey

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is administered to first-year and senior students at four-year colleges and universities. The survey collects information about students' participation in programs and activities that institutions provide for their learning and personal development. The results provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college.

NSSE is administered to each IU campus every three years. This report contains the results from the three most recent NSSE cohorts, which were administered in the fall of the 2015, 2018, and 2021 academic years. 

NSSE items reviewed in the report include:
   - Engagement Indicators
   - High Impact Practices
   - Perceived Gains

Transfer Survey

The IU Transfer Survey was administered in the fall semester of 2019 to currently enrolled undergraduate transfer students who began their studies at IU in either the fall of 2019 or 2017. The survey was used to gauge student satisfaction regarding transfer student matriculation and services. This report provides aggregate response by campus and cohort as well as additional information about how the survey was administered.

Non-enrolled Transfer Applicant Survey

The IU Non-enrolled Transfer Applicant Survey was administered in the spring of 2021. The goal of this project was to better understand the motivations of transfer applicants who were admitted to IU but decided not to enroll. The survey was administered to a census of undergraduate transfer applicants, from all IU campuses, who were admitted but not enrolled between and including fall 2018 and fall 2020. This report provides aggregate response by application campus and application term, a breakdown of the reasons why applicants chose not to apply and the importance of those reasons, and information about how the survey was administered.
