FAQs:

Q:  Who is conducting the study? 
A:  Cal Poly is conducting an assessment of academic advising overseen by NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising, the “premier global association for the development and dissemination of innovative theory, research, and practice of academic advising in higher education.” The survey is administered by the NACADA Center for Research at Kansas State University in collaboration with the College of Education at Kansas State University. You can learn more about the organization at https://nacada.ksu.edu/

Q: How will my answers be used? 
A: The aggregated results will be used to inform the academic advising team at Cal Poly as they explore all aspects of academic advising and will be presented in both numeric and graphical findings and reports. Narrative text (quotes and phrases) will be used to add depth to the analysis of the results, but no identifying information will ever be used.

Q: Who will see my responses?
A: Privacy is of the utmost concern and all respondents’ data will be anonymously collected. Any identifiers in the qualitative responses will be “cleaned” as the first step in analysis. Only certified researchers at Cal Poly and NACADA will have access to survey responses, and only for the purpose of protecting those that may be specifically mentioned in a response.

Q: Who can I contact with questions or concerns?
