Survey Administration
ASER administered the 2024 survey online to UMass seniors who graduated in February, or who were expected to graduate in May or September (based on student records information available on April 3). Seniors were invited to complete the survey in an email from Chancellor Reyes and in subsequent reminder emails from ASER. In addition, IT installed LMS notifications to encourage response. The survey was available from April 23-May 21. We matched the survey population with degree records to identify seniors who received a degree in February, May, or September of 2024. The total number of graduated seniors who were included in our survey population was 5,898. Of these, 2,336 seniors took the survey for a participation rate of 40%.
