This survey is to be completed by the principal. (Different but similar surveys will be completed by guidance counselors and teachers in your school.)

This survey is intended to help us understand the impact of SMSU's College Now Program on students, teachers, and schools. The feedback you provide in this survey helps make College Now the best it can be. We also anticipate that your input will provide data useful in documenting the program’s value. Your individual responses will be kept strictly confidential.

Many questions in this survey were developed by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP) and are included in surveys being conducted by concurrent enrollment programs across the country. NACEP will aggregate data elicited by the NACEP-generated questions and thus create a more comprehensive body of information about concurrent enrollment programs in the U.S. (For more information about NACEP, visit www.nacep.org)

Thank you!
