UI Senior Exit Survey

The UI Senior Exit Survey is administered to all UI undergraduates at the time they file to graduate. This brief survey asks students about their experiences at UI, their participation in selected learning opportunities, and faculty or staff who made a difference for them during their time at UI.

Thank you for making a difference!

We ask graduating seniors to identify faculty or staff members who made a positive difference in their lives during their time as undergraduates. Faculty and staff members identified by students are acknowledged each year near the end of Spring semester:
