The NSSE Institutional Report displays core survey results for your students alongside those of three comparison groups and provides additional comparison group results for Topical Modules and consortium questions. In May, your institution was invited to customize these groups via a form on the Institution Interface.
NSSE comparison groups may be customized by (a) identifying specific institutions from the list of all prior and current year NSSE participants, (b) composing the group by selecting institutional characteristics, or (c) a combination of these. Institutions that chose not to customize received default groups that provide relevant comparisons for most institutions.
Prior-year NSSE participants are identified with an asterisk (*) in the institution lists below.
