What is the UCUES Survey?
The University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES) is an online survey administered at UC Irvine and all the other undergraduate UC campuses. UCUES data is used for many institutional purposes, such as identifying obstacles to undergraduate success, learning more about financial concerns, and providing student input to faculty and administrators. The results may also be used at an aggregate data level for academic research purposes after obtaining the appropriate IRB approval.
Prizes
By completing the survey, you will automatically be entered into drawings for prizes. Over $5,000 in prizes will be awarded. If you win, you may receive an e-gift card to your UCI email address. Drawings will be held every Monday to award at least nine randomly selected winners a $50 Amazon.com gift card. The earlier you complete your survey, the more drawings you’ll be entered into. Once the survey closes, we’ll be presenting a $250 Amazon.com gift card to our Grand Prize winner. You are still eligible to receive the Grand Prize even if you’ve won a $50 gift card during our weekly give-aways.
Voluntary Participation
Your participation is voluntary. Your decision to participate will not affect your relationship with the University of California or benefits to which you may otherwise be entitled. You may withdraw from the survey at any time or skip questions that you do not wish to answer.
Accessibility
If you are using screen reading software (e.g., JAWS), please use table navigation. You will need to login using your UCInetID and password. The survey will be available starting on April 3, 2024 and will be open all spring. Note that you do not have to complete the survey in one sitting; your responses will be saved as you progress.
Protecting your privacy
Your personal information, limited to your name and email address, is used strictly for sending survey invitation and reminder messages. Such information is only accessible by survey administration staff. After the survey is closed, your name and email address will be deleted from all survey datasets. Your student ID will be used to match survey responses against other data such as, but not limited to, your demographics, enrollment records, graduation data, applicant data, and post-baccalaureate data. This data is used for analysis and reporting.
Please be assured that your responses will be kept confidential and the results of the study will be reported only as aggregate (group level) data. Any identifiable information that is obtained in connection with this study will remain confidential. When this information is stored on third party secure platforms and secure file transfer suppliers, confidentiality will be maintained and your privacy protected according to the University of California privacy and security policies. This information will only be disclosed when required by law. All data used in public reporting will be reviewed to ensure that your identity cannot be ascertained. Information will be retained in compliance with UC’s Record Retention Schedule.
Your opinion counts
By providing feedback on your experience, you will help us better understand the needs and concerns of UCI undergraduates. Due to the critical importance of this information, we appreciate and encourage your participation.
