ACADEMIC ADVISING SURVEY - WIN GIFT CARDS!!!! (Reminder):

Hello Highlanders!

The Student Voice Committee (SVC) will be raffling off Gift Cards to Amazon!!!!

All you need to do is complete a short survey sharing your thoughts about how your experience with your academic advisor(s) has been throughout your time at UCR, in-person and/or remotely, from scheduling appointments all the way to receiving guidance from your advisor(s) and acting upon it.

The goal of this survey is to analyze the various aspects of your academic advising experience so that we can understand in greater detail how UCR can better enhance your experience with your academic advisor(s) in the future.

Your feedback in this survey will be very important to ensuring that you and fellow students like yourself can gain the most out of their academic advising experience, especially as in-person instruction returns this Fall.

We strongly encourage you to complete this survey, regardless of whether or not you will be returning for the 2021-2022 academic school year as it will allow for future students and cohorts to have the successful educational experience they aspire to have while at UCR.

As a kind reminder, please make sure to complete the questionnaire by NEXT Wednesday, April 14th, at 11:59 PM PDT in order to get your name in the raffle on time.

The link to the survey can be found right here: https://ucriverside.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0TFK6B1C72R4vk2.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at asucrsvc at ucr.edu<mailto:asucrsvc at ucr.edu>.
