Can the Parent Satisfaction Survey be administered without also surveying our students?
Noel-Levitz recommends that you survey your students as well as your parents. The data from the Parent Satisfaction Survey are going to be most meaningful when analyzed in connection with the Student Satisfaction Inventory results. However, you may find that you would like to survey your students and parents in alternating years rather than at the same time. Or you may want to begin with surveying one population currently, such as parents, and add survey administrations of other populations, such as students, in the future. You may also want to consider incorporating the Institutional Priorities Survey for faculty, administration and staff into your assessment plan to be able to triangulate the data across key campus constituencies.
