Win up to $1,000*

Unlike the myExperience Survey which asks you to provide thoughts on your individual courses within your program, the Student Experience Survey (SES) is administered by the Social Research Centre on behalf of the government.

All responses are entirely confidential.

Within the SES, the term 'course' refers to your degree or program of study rather than your classes. Please keep this in mind as you complete the survey, focusing on your overall degree experience.
