Fall 2020 COVID-19 Surveys

In Fall 2020, as a follow up to our Spring 2020 COVID-19 Institutional Response Surveys we offered three surveys designed to check-in with students, faculty, and staff on how they were settling in and adjusting to their learning, teaching, and working environments during the pandemic and on how satisfied they were with the institutional support they received during that time. You can view PDF versions of these surveys through the buttons on the right.

More than 21,500 students at 29 institutions responded to the student survey. More than 5,600 staff members from 25 institutions responded to the staff survey and about 3,700 faculty from 24 institutions completed the faculty survey.

You can read short summaries of the findings from these three surveys on our COVID-19 Response Information page.

Using these Surveys

As with our spring COVID-19 surveys, any college or university may use or adapt these three fall surveys to meet their internal needs. There is no charge. If your institution does this, please let us know, and please cite HEDS as the source of the survey by adding “© 2020 Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium” to the survey. We do not permit anyone to sell these surveys or to include the questions from these surveys in a product that you sell. We also do not allow for-profit entities or other organizations to use or adapt these surveys without our permission.

These surveys were reviewed by the Wabash College Institutional Review Board (IRB). The approval letter for the student survey is available here and the staff and faculty surveys’ approval letter is here.
