The Graduating Student Survey is the University of San Francisco's exit survey taken by students before they graduate. The survey is designed to capture student perceptions of their educational experience. The survey asks students about the preparation they received in a variety of knowledge and skills, their values, ideas, and perspectives relative to differences of people who are different from themselves and co-curricular contributions to their experience. The Graduating Student Survey integrates the perspective of both undergraduate and graduate students. This survey replaces both the Undergraduate Graduating Student Survey and the Graduate Student Graduating Student Survey.

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is a survey of first year and senior students about the characteristics and quality of their undergraduate education. While NSSE does not directly assess student learning, the survey does reflect self-reported behaviors associated with desired outcomes of an undergraduate education. Beginning in 2018, USF opted to offer NSSE every other year. The next administration will be in the 2019-2020 academic year.

All reports prepared by NSSE, unless otherwise noted.
