Student Satisfaction

As part of the University of Arizona Global Campus' dedication to building a culture of assessment, we review our student satisfaction using Noel-Levitz surveys.

The University of Arizona Global Campus administers these online surveys in the spring for use in our institutional effectiveness review and strategic planning. Feedback is used to improve programs and services. The surveys use seven-point scales to access various facets of student satisfaction and identify areas for improvement.
