This guide to surveying college students, graduates, and dropouts accompanies The Student Outcomes Questionnaires developed by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems. Student outcomes are defined as the results or consequences of a student's enrollment in a post secondary educational program. The Student Outcomes Questionnaires are designed for either community colleges or four-year colleges and universities; separate forms are available for entering students, nonreturning students, former students, graduates, those who completed a program, and recent alumni. Each of these forms and a general followup questionnaire are included. The student outcomes measured by these questionnaires include information on student's background, goals, aspirations, plans, attitudes, activities, educational plans, occupational choices, and reasons for making certain decisions. Guidelines for data collection, planning and administration of surveys, coding and data processing, data analysis, and presentation of results are discussed. (GDC)
