Subject: Encourage Student Participation in the U of A Graduating Senior Survey
Date: Nov 04, 2025

Graduating seniors were recently emailed an invitation to complete the Graduating Senior Survey which collects data about college students' post-graduation outcomes related to employment and continuing education. An overview of the survey purpose and methodology can be found online.

To reach and encourage as many graduating students as possible to complete the survey, we are seeking assistance from campus partners to support our data collection efforts. 

How to Help:

  • Include the survey link in direct emails to graduating students.
  • Provide the link and messaging in a notification via D2L
  • Add the survey link to your website, resource page or social media platform.
  • Repost on social media platforms and share our messaging with your network. We are planning to post on our socials on Wednesday, Nov. 12, Tuesday, Nov. 25 and Wednesday, Dec. 3.

The survey is available for students here. 

How this Helps Students:

  • Students who indicate "still seeking employment" receive responsive follow-up services from Student Engagement and Career Development.
  • Students can opt in to receiving Alumni Association resources such as networking and job search support post-graduation.
  • Students who respond today help future students understand the post-graduation benefits of receiving an education from the University of Arizona.

Survey Administration Details:

  • Only students who are eligible for graduation will be eligible to complete the survey.
  • Students may re-enter updated information if their post-graduation status changes using the same link or their unique retake link that is emailed to them once they begin the survey.

As a reminder, we are always happy to collaborate with departments to generate insights on your specific students' outcomes. These insights can help inform future departmental goals or for accreditation purposes. Additionally, the Graduating Senior Survey Dashboard is readily available on UAccess Analytics. Instructions on how to obtain access to the Dashboard can be found online. There is also an aggregate, publicly available dashboard available on the SECD website.
