National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)

Bowling Green State University participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to collect data on the quality of the undergraduate experience, focusing on time and effort students put into their learning and development and institutional resources and support. NSSE surveys first-year and senior students to assess levels of engagement and related information about their experience at BGSU.

Information for the BGSU 2023 NSSE 

BGSU is participating in the 2023 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). First-year and senior students will receive an invitation and reminders to complete the survey between March 15 - April 4, 2023. Eligible students also will have the survey link in Canvas. The NSSE closes on May 14, 2023.

Please consider completing the NSSE. The information that you provide will help BGSU to measure students' engagement and satisfaction with their college experience. What we learn from the survey will enhance our ability to help students have the best educational experience possible. 

$5 in BG1 Bucks will be awarded to the first 100 first-year students and first 100 seniors who complete the survey.

Additionally, participants will be entered to win one of several prizes through random drawings, including:

•           $500 NSSE Participation Scholarships awarded to 2 first-year students for Fall 2023

•           $250 Amazon Gift Cards awarded to 4 seniors

•           $50 Falcon Outfitters Gift Cards awarded to 20 students

•           $25 Falcon Outfitters Gift Cards awarded to 20 students

The odds of winning the random drawings depend upon the total number of survey participants; the last time we administered this survey 956 first-year and 991 seniors responded for a total of 1,947 participants. If the winner receives federal, state, private, or other University financial aid, it may be necessary to adjust the financial aid package and reduce other aid. It is also possible that due to other aid awarded, the winner may not be eligible to receive it. Random drawings for gift cards will occur after the NSSE survey closes in May. Winners will be notified via email to their BGSU emails.

We value your participation in this effort and look forward to learning more about your experiences at BGSU.
