SENIOR ASSESSMENT EXIT SURVEYS

CONGRATULATIONS! We are excited that you have almost completed your degree at UPIKE!

Sometime in March or October, you will receive a welcome email from the Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness Dr. Meg Wright Sidle, to inform you that you have been “registered” for the senior assessment course. At that point, you will then be able to begin completing the assessments at your leisure, but no later than April 30 (Spring) or December 15 (Fall).
