Non-Enrolling Applicant Survey	The Non-Enrolling Applicant Survey is administered bi-annually to prospective students who applied, but chose not to attend NMC, during the fall semester. The results are used to make adjustments in programmatic and student services areas which may affect these students.

Non-Returning Student Survey	The Non-Returning Student Survey is administered bi-annually to students who may have been enrolled at NMC but for whatever reason did not re-enroll.

Service Effectiveness Survey	The Service Effectiveness Survey is administered to currently enrolled academic students. These students are taking classes for credit at NMC. The survey asks students to rate the importance of a series of service statements and then to rate their level of satisfaction that NMC is meeting that service expectation. A gap analysis between importance and satisfaction identifies market opportunities and retention priorities.	Used by all college units to measure self-assessment outcomes, to gauge student satisfaction with services and to prioritize continuous improvement efforts.
Transfer Student Survey	The Transfer Student Survey is administered bi-annually to students who may have been enrolled at NMC in the spring semester and then transferred credit to a four-year college or university in the fall.
