Notes:

The Undergraduate and Graduate Exit Surveys launch on the first day of classes in the semester before graduation (e.g., the survey opens in January for students who will graduate in the Summer). The survey remains open for the duration of the academic year (Summer, Fall, and Spring) with reminder emails sent at one-month intervals to students who have filed an Intent to Graduate form. The survey closes in June for 2024-25 graduates.

 

The Embark/Career Plans Survey launches in the last month before graduation (e.g., May for Spring graduates; August for Summer graduates; December for Fall graduates) and remains open for six months following graduation. The survey closes in November for 2024-25 graduates.
