Share your thoughts and suggestions about your USC experience
The University is committed to listening to the views of its students and to acting on student feedback.
Throughout the year you will be invited to participate in a range of surveys designed to inform the continuous review and improvement of USC’s courses, teaching, programs, services, facilities and resources.
The development, success and welfare of the University’s students are the main focus of these surveys.
USC takes student feedback seriously and the feedback students provide informs changes to processes, services and research.
You can see how and where your feedback is making an impact on USC's You said, we listened page.
For the opportunity to have your say check your USC email account daily and watch out for invitations to participate in surveys such as those shown below:
eVALU8 Courses and Teaching

Evaluations are conducted in each teaching period and your participation is strongly encouraged.

Student Experience Survey (SES)
Selected students: The SES is a national survey which is conducted for the Australian Government Department of Education and Training.
Student feedback is very important and contributes directly to the quality of teaching and learning for current and future students.
During August each year, invitations to participate in the SES will be sent to the USC email account of current undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students who were enrolled in the first half of the year. Alternatively, students can log into Blackboard, and click on the survey link in the SES banner.

Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS)
Graduates: The GOS is a national survey of recent graduates carried out by the Social Research Centre.
The survey collects information from graduates about their study experience and the type of work or further study they undertake after completing a qualification.
USC uses the results of the GOS to further develop its courses and programs, maximise students’ study experiences and to provide informed advice to students about career opportunities. GOS results will also inform higher education policy development and may be reported by media and publishers.
Invitations to complete the GOS online are emailed from the Social Research Centre (gos@srcentre.com.au) in February (graduates from August-October of the prior year), May (graduates from November of the prior year to February of the current year) and November (graduates from March-July of the current year).
Survey participants are automatically entered into the national weekly prize draws to win great prizes. Visit the Social Research Centre Graduate Outcomes Survey Prize Draw Terms and Conditions page.

Graduate Outcome Survey - Longitudinal
Graduates: The GOS-L is a longitudinal study that connects with university graduates to collect information on graduates’ labour market outcomes.
Students who complete an award at USC and complete the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) will receive an email invitation three years after their program completion.
The GOS-L invitation will be sent from gos-l@srcentre.com.au during February of each year.
