Graduate Education Policies Survey |
Consent Form
This survey is designed to poll for the perceived presence of university policies and resources by its graduate student population, for the purpose of understanding how graduate student’s institutional needs are being met, and what gaps still need to be filled. The intent of this study is to understand what policies or resources are available to you, which provide adequate coverage for your needs, and which are lacking that you find beneficial to your academic career.
Note that this survey will request that you provide links to policies if they are available – so please arrange for the possibility of looking up websites as you complete the survey. Links are not necessary to the completion of the survey, but will enhance our analysis greatly.
During this survey you will be asked about the following policies and resources. As this is the first landscape survey of graduate policies in the US, we wanted to have a representative list. This does make the survey on the longer side, and we appreciate your participation all the more for it.
Health Resources:
- Health Insurance
- Dental Insurance
- Mental Health Services
- Medical Leave Policies
- Parental Leave Policies
- Disability Support Services
