Guiding Principles of the Survey Calendar
  • Actionable data is collected in a timely manner; reflective data is collected at regular intervals.
  • Metrics are collected at key times and intervals to support assessment efforts. 
  • Internal surveys are used for efficiency, to provide flexibility, and maintain longitudinal data.
  • External surveys are used sparingly but regularly to provide benchmarking and comparisons. 
  • Data collected supports planning, assessment, and evaluation of key institutional initiatives.
