Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes (DACSO) Survey

Each year former students who have been out of their programs for approximately 9 to 20 months are surveyed on behalf of the BC Student Outcomes Research Forum. The annual questionnaire is built on a set of core questions based on the major themes of the survey: employment outcomes, further education, ratings of programs, and student satisfaction. Different sections are included each year to provide a special focus on issues of interest to the post-secondary education sector. Every effort is made to ensure that questionnaires are consistent from year to year.

The Diploma, Associate Degree, and Certificate Student Outcomes (DACSO) Survey was formerly known as the College and Institute Student Outcomes (CISO) Survey.
