Non-cognitive survey to be administered to new students this September

The Early Alert Taskforce, a sub-committee reporting into the Student Success Committee, will administer a survey to measure the non-cognitive landscape of incoming students. The survey will capture an understanding of the resilience, grit, self-efficacy, preparedness, motivation, etc., of our incoming students. The results will be shared with the student’s advisor and used to identify at-risk students before the threat of attrition. In return for completing the survey, students will receive an action plan of services and resources to assist them during their studies.

The survey will be piloted this September to all new students in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science and the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities. A full-scale launch of the survey will be deployed to the entire incoming cohort of students in Fall 2019.
