All 9 Survey Questions

Nine questions covering the full spectrum of the alumni relationship, from the quality of education received to current engagement and giving intent. Question 5, institutional pride, is the strongest single predictor of alumni NPS, and it's the dimension most institutions neglect to measure directly.

Sample Results

What Your Results Dashboard Shows

After 234 responses from a Russell Group university's five-year cohort survey, the alumni engagement programme gap against institutional pride scores was the finding that prompted a restructure of the alumni events calendar, focusing on career development over social gatherings:

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this alumni survey template free?
Yes. Free forever with no signup required. Up to 100 responses free. Pro ($19/month) allows 10,000 responses and a response timeline for tracking how scores change across graduation cohorts and survey cycles.
How do I share the survey with alumni?
Include the link in your alumni newsletter, email, or portal. Share in your LinkedIn alumni group or community app. Alumni respond on any device without creating an account. For higher response rates, frame the survey as informing a specific decision and mention how results will be used.
Can I use this for recent graduates as well as long-term alumni?
Yes. The questions work for both groups. Add a graduation year question to segment results by cohort, which often reveals meaningful differences in career preparedness ratings and giving intent across different year groups.
How does this help with alumni giving campaigns?
Question 8 directly measures giving intent, allowing development teams to identify likely donors before a campaign launches. Alumni who score positively on institutional pride (Q5) and career preparedness (Q3) are significantly more likely to give.
Can I use this for accreditation or institutional research?
Yes. Questions 3 and 4 address career preparedness and graduate outcomes, which are common accreditation indicators. Export results to CSV from VoteGenerator Pro for use in institutional research reports and accreditation evidence files.
How often should a university run an alumni survey?
Most institutions run a full alumni survey every two to three years with shorter engagement checks between cycles. Many also run graduate outcome surveys at specific intervals: typically at one year, five years, and ten years post-graduation.
