What is this survey?

The University of California Graduate Student Experience Survey (UCGSES) is an online survey, modeled after the Undergraduate Student Experience Survey that we send out every other year at UC Berkeley.

This survey is an important tool for understanding graduate students’ academic and co-curricular experience at Berkeley. UCGSES data is used for many institutional purposes, including providing graduate student input into academic program reviews and learning more about students’ financial concerns. All UC Berkeley graduate students who are 18 years old or older, as of April 10, 2023 are invited to participate in the survey.

Confidentiality

Your responses to this survey are confidential, and the results of the study will be reported only as aggregate data. Any quotations from responses to open ended questions used in reporting will be reviewed to ensure that your identity cannot be ascertained.

Prizes

By completing this survey, you will be entered into several prize drawings for e-gift cards ranging from $25 to $200. Fifteen winners will be selected and notified between now and Monday, June 19, 2023. Once you complete the survey, you will automatically be entered into all subsequent prize drawings. Thus, the earlier you respond, the more chances you have to win a prize.
