Exit Survey

In an effort to learn about the student experience from the class of 2008, each graduating senior is asked to take an online exit survey. Participation in this survey is a requirement for graduation and can be completed online.

You will receive an e-mail on April 1st from Dr. Keston Fulcher with a link, specifically associated with your e-mail, that will take you to the survey. The survey will be open from April 1st until May 1st.   If you do not receive the survey by April 1st or otherwise have trouble accessing the survey, please contact Dr. Fulcher at keston.fulcher@cnu.edu.

Students who choose not to access the survey will not have met all requirements for graduation and will not receive their diplomas or be able to participate in the graduation ceremony.
