The Office of Institutional Effectiveness conduct a regular cycle of national surveys as part of the university’s assessment program. These surveys provide information about our faculty, staff, and students’ attitudes, and perceptions of the Elon experience.

Planning a survey involving Elon students, faculty, or staff? If your survey will have 300+ prospective participants,  submit a Survey Administration Application to coordinate and plan your survey. If you have questions contact ElonIE for assistance and review the Elon University Survey Policy.
