The Orientation Intake Survey results in a better advising appointment during Orientation and prompts students to assess confidence in their intended major such that they receive guidance on making a purposeful choice before they even register for classes.
We will continue 1) to revise the survey as needed with input from Academic Advisors; 2) to inform students about the importance of completing the survey before their Orientation session; 3) work with stakeholders to have 100% of all first-time full-time students, continuing dual enrollment students, and all transfer students complete the survey.
Every year we have tweaked the survey to get additional information as needed. In 2023, for example, we added questions about students’ intentions to persist at UGA through graduation to help identify those who are considering transferring out. This year we added questions about intention to stay or leave UGA and will be discussing how to use this information to support students.
