Student Affairs Surveys

Easing the collection of student affairs information

Student affairs offices are dedicated to providing a safe environment for students, enhancing student learning, promoting individual programs for social growth, and encouraging the development of life-long skills and communication.

Each student affairs office is separated into several different departments: student housing/residence hall, health centers, counseling centers, and campus security, just to name a few. Each department deals with a different aspect of a college student’s life, such as career, extra-curricular activities, work programs, general health and safety, and continuing education programs. To be effective, these departments require a lot of information on each student.

Pearson Assessments has worked with many departments within the student affairs office to help automate data collection projects. Our standard and customized data collection solutions allow student affairs staff to maximize resources and gain efficiencies. Traditional paper-based solutions include OMR OpScan^® scanners, imaging solutions, software, and OMR scan forms to automate data collection and reduce manual data entry errors. We also offer customized electronic data collection solutions designed to acquire the same information, but offering additional deployment methods such as e-mail, Internet, intranet, kiosk, and more.

Student Housing

Students have a variety of needs for living on campus. Student housing helps pick and match roommates to actual housing applications, requiring various kinds of student information. Pearson Assessments surveys help student housing departments understand the needs of students, meet satisfaction levels, and make improvements.

Health Centers

Campus health centers are continually increasing the services they provide to students, including urgent care services, preventive care, special dietary needs, and health risk assessments. In addition, many institutions require complete immunization records prior to students being admitted. Pearson Assessments’ data collection solutions help campus health centers process student health information quickly, efficiently, and accurately.

Counseling Centers

Counseling centers provide information on the general attitudes of undergraduate and graduate populations. These centers also provide student assistance programs ranging from drug and alcohol programs to classroom support programs. Pearson Assessments helps these centers collect vital information to improve the effectiveness of student programs.

Campus Security

University police and security services have primary responsibility for crime prevention and law enforcement on campus. Additional responsibilities include maintaining accurate parking enforcement records, automobile registration, and providing a safe environment for all students. Pearson Assessments helps campus security departments perform their administrative duties efficiently and effectively.
