Student Experience.

To systematically gather, analyse and act upon student feedback to improve the academic and co-curricular experience.

Students at Central University orientation

Student feedback architecture

Five ways your voice is heard.

Course evaluations

Anonymous online surveys at the end of each teaching period, for every course.

Annual satisfaction survey

University-wide: academic services, facilities, student services and campus life.

Exit survey

For graduating students, looking back on the whole academic journey.

Focus groups

Structured discussions each year with representative student groups in every school.

Complaints and appeals

CQAD monitors the nature, volume and resolution of complaints through the Registrar's Office, using de-identified data.

Alumni and tracer surveys

Graduates tell us where Central has taken them, one, three and five years on.

Working with Student Services

Acting on what students say.

CQAD meets every quarter with the Dean of Students and the Director of Academic and Student Services to:

  • review feedback data and identify systemic issues needing an institutional response
  • track the action plans that follow the satisfaction surveys
  • monitor student welfare indicators and their link with academic outcomes
  • keep standards high in registration, advising and examinations

Counselling & career services

Quality benchmarks for CCSD.

  • Minimum counsellor-to-student ratios in line with GTEC student support standards
  • Annual review of career placement rates and graduate employment outcomes
  • Assessment of the quality and relevance of career development programmes

CQAD works only with aggregate figures from CCSD. It never has access to counselling records.
