The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
At the University of Maine and University of Maine at Machias, we want our students to have the best educational experience possible, and your participation in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) helps us by providing vital information about your activities in and out of the classroom. If you are a UMaine or UMaine Machias first-year student, or a senior, age 18 or older, please complete the NSSE survey. The survey should take roughly 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and you may skip questions you prefer not to answer.
In appreciation for participating, students who complete the survey will be automatically entered in a series of random drawings to win one of a variety of prizes. The prizes include AirPods Pro (1 available at a value of $199), Maine Black Bear blankets (3 available at a value of $39.99 each), Maine t-shirts (5 available at a value of $20 each), and UMaine coffee mugs (5 available at a value of $9.99 each).

Neither UMaine nor the Center will make any public release of information associated with your name while using survey results and related student records for their intended purpose (to improve the college experience and conduct research), but personally identifiable responses may be inspected by college and government organizations when required by law.
