FOR
GRADUATING SENIORS: CAREER DESTINATIONS SURVEY
We Need Your
Help
Graduating seniors will be able to complete the Career
Destination Survey which collects data about college students’ post-graduation
outcomes related to employment and continuing education.
Typically, the spring survey is tied to the Commencement
RSVP process which results in an average response rate of about 75%.
Since the in-person event has been cancelled, we are seeking assistance from
campus colleagues to improve our data collection efforts by encouraging seniors
to complete the survey.
How to Help:
- Include the survey link in direct emails to graduating students, excluding Eller College of Management which conducts their own survey.
- Add the survey link to your website, resource page or social media platform
The survey is available at https://seniorsurvey.arizona.edu.
How this Helps Students:
- Students who indicate “still seeking employment” receive responsive follow-up services from Student Engagement and Career Development.
- Students can opt in to receiving Alumni Association resources such as networking and job search support post-graduation.
- Students who respond today help future students understand the post-graduation benefits of receiving an education from the University of Arizona as data are reported, in aggregate and as requested, to several organizations that produce college and university rankings.
Survey Administration Details:
- Only students who have applied for graduation will be eligible to complete the survey.
- Students may re-enter updated information if their post-graduation status changes using the same link while the survey is open (at least through August).
