<div>Everyone,<br>
<br>
</div>
My institution, the University of Minnesota, Morris, is thinking of going from a 2-year cycle of conducting NSSE (every other year, even years) to a 3-year cycle. We would do the CIRP survey of entering freshmen in fall semester of the same year we do NSSE
in the spring. That way we would expect to catch those entering freshmen who did CIRP as they are in their senior year for NSSE.
<br>
<br>
</div>
My questions are:<br>
<br>
</div>
1) What cycle are you using for the NSSE survey (if any cycle at all)?<br>
<br>
</div>
2) Would you consider moving to a 3-year cycle (beginning spring 2017) or a cycle that would include the same years as UMM? (For instance, if you offer it every spring, we are covered!)<br>
<br>

Thanks.<br>
