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.

Note: the instrument was revised for Fall 2023 and only current questions are displayed in the results dashboards. View the 2023-2024 survey for information about which dashboards you should view to see the results.
