National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
NSSE (pronounced “Nessie”) stands for the National Survey of Student Engagement. Responses to the survey will help the university make improvements to student services and activities.
Thank-you to all first- and fourth-year students - your participation helps us improve the York U student experience.
Next Survey is Winter 2026!
When you share feedback, you create POSITIVE CHANGE
Improved Academic Advising
Through NSSE, students asked for better access to academic advising. In response, we updated academic advising websites and booking systems, and have included Civitas into advising sessions to reduce the number of times a student tells their story.
Access to Career Supports
Students told NSSE that they wanted better access to career supports and services. Career Education & Development responded with the launch of the Career Lounge, the Becoming YU Program and targeted career development workshops and programming.
Supporting Mental Health and Wellness
NSSE data resulted in more consultation and outreach with students to develop the new Mental Health and Wellness strategy, with community engagement sessions currently underway. NSSE data also resulted in the development of health and wellness services and workshops on campus.
