Frequently Asked Questions

How does ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï ensure the accuracy of its job placement data?

The Career Services office at ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï follows NACE standards and best practices for our Survey of Graduates data collection process. 
Approximately six months after graduation, we send all graduates a link to our online "Baseline" survey, using the email addresses the college has on file. Graduates must input their Student ID when completing the survey online. If graduates do not respond to the survey links, we attempt to contact them by phone, using the phone number the college has on file. IRAAP pulls a report from the National Student Clearing house providing us with transfer data, so if we are unable to reach the graduate, we can use that information too. Occasionally, an academic department has placement or transfer data to provide us as well.
