UND Graduation Survey
Let us know before you go. In our survey for new graduates, share your plans—whether you’re working, pursuing an advanced degree, or exploring other interests.
Those who complete the survey, and opt-in to share their email address, will be entered to win one of two $200 Amazon gift cards. A winner will be drawn two months after graduation.
- The survey takes no more than 2 - 3 minutes to complete and will remain confidential. By completing this survey, you will help future students learn what to expect in their next chapter after graduation.
- To participate, watch for an email on July 24 from UND Career Services, then click on the link. We look forward to hearing from you!
Why take the survey?
You will help us learn the answers to questions that we are often asked about our graduates:
- Do our students find full-time jobs after college?
- Do they go on for an advanced degree?
- Are they still defining their next steps?
- What is the average salary a new graduate earns?
- Do they stay in North Dakota?
