Inclusive Campus Student Survey

All students were recently invited to participate in the administration of the third Inclusive Campus Student Survey, which serves as an opportunity for students to share feedback as we continue to strive to make Notre Dame a more inclusive campus where every individual feels a sense of belonging. Please follow the link in the email you received to complete the survey. 

All students who submit a survey will be automatically entered into a random drawing to win one of four $25 gift cards to the Notre Dame Bookstore. Additionally, 200 students who submit a survey will be randomly selected to receive $5 in Domer Dollars.

The Office of Strategic Planning & Institutional Research is responsible for data management and reporting. Survey results will not be reported in a manner that could identify individuals. Consistent with Notre Dame’s prior administration of the survey, aggregated results will be shared with the university community later this spring.
