NACADA Student Survey for Academic Advising
Survey Link Available March 25 to April 5, 2024
This survey is designed by NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising for the purpose of understanding student learning, success, and completion based on academic advising. It will assist our campus to understand the ways in which students at the University of Arizona describe their interactions with academic advisors, as well as their perceptions of the effectiveness of those interactions.
Survey Distribution
The survey will be sent to 15,000 University of Arizona students via an email to your Arizona.edu email from NACADA. It will take you about 10-15 minutes to complete and includes an opportunity at the end to share your experiences in your own words. Upon completing the survey, participants will have the opportunity to enter a drawing for one of ten $50 Amazon Gift cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, a sample of students was selected that is representative of the student body. It is thus important that each selected student submit the survey to ensure a full, representative student view of the academic advising experience at UArizona.
Campus-wide academic advising is coordinating with an international academic advising organization, NACADA, to conduct this survey. NACADA will be sending out the survey and collecting results, while UArizona personnel will be analyzing results and implementing results-based enhancements to academic advising at UArizona.
Your individual answers won't be accessible to UArizona personnel--only aggregated (combined) results will be reviewed.
The aggregated (combined) results will be used to learn how we can enhance academic advising from the student perspective. We will be looking at and sharing our findings both in general across campus, and specifically within each college or academic unit.
Spring 2024 is the first time UArizona has conducted this survey specific to academic advising. In the future, we hope to be able to gather student feedback on advising through this survey every two years.
