Students, we want to hear from you…check your Huskymail for this survey and respond!
Beginning Wednesday, September 27th and ending October 11th, students will be asked via email to complete a brief survey examining summer course offerings. This questionnaire will help us gather important data about the likelihood of students to enroll in summer classes, preferred courses and effective summer schedules.
Critical to our success in shaping future summer course offerings will be high student response to this survey. Please encourage other UConn students to look for this email and seize the opportunity to contribute to the future of UConn’s summer session program.
Students who complete the survey will be entered in a drawing for iPods, UConn Co-op gift certificates and men’s and women’s basketball tickets.
