How are graduates and former enrollees contacted to participate in the survey?
Interviewers attempt to contact all eligible graduates and former enrollees by telephone. As needed, interviewers make multiple call attempts at different times of the day and on weekends, to complete a survey or schedule an appointment for survey completion. If interviewers do not reach participants directly, they leave messages for students to call a toll-free number to complete the survey. Postcards are sent to graduates and former enrollees by the Survey Center responsible for their interview two weeks after they are added to the survey database. The postcard informs them of the survey and invites them to call the toll-free number at their earliest convenience.
