The Ontario College Student Experience Survey (OCSES) <\/strong>measures key aspects of the student experience. It provides students with an opportunity to give feedback about their program and Niagara College<\/strong>. It is not an evaluation of a specific course, subject, or teacher. Participating colleges use survey data for continuous improvement and system-level benchmarking. Students are invited by email to complete the online survey every year \u2013 please see the Eligibility to Participate<\/strong><\/a> section below. This year, a limited number of programs are participating in a pilot of in-class survey administration to evaluate this approach before considering broader use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey is administered by the Institutional Analytics & Reporting (IAR)<\/a> department on behalf of Niagara College and in collaboration with the Ontario College Application Service (OCAS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
