We Need Student Help With Our Student Exit Surveys! 

All students who have registered without providing a Social Security or ITIN Number will receive a survey about six months AFTER completing or leaving our program. WHY?

The survey is so that the school can keep its funding and keep programs free. Students will be asked four questions.

Student answers are anonymous.

  1. Are you attending school in a different area?

  2. What school do you attend now?

  3. Do you have a job now?

  4. How much do you usually earn in one month?
