No incentives; However, we discuss the importance of the survey and why giving feedback helps centers to make necessary improvements. What has helped our numbers is to set a time that all students can do the survey during class hours.
Center staff went to each classroom and trade area to allow students a Chance to take the survey and to receive assistance in logging in. All students received a cupcake or cookie for logging into the survey. Our college students met with the counselors off site to complete the survey, receiving an additional incentive for completion. We tracked all student participation on a Google sheet that gave us daily percentages and allowed us to see who was still outstanding.
We started to promote the SEA at mass meetings and all staff supported this promotional efforts. Pizza party for meeting 80% , posting dept. Of labor posters in all areas on center, counselor and SGA assisted with checking on student access while on chrome books, counselor worked in all areas on center to include dorm to check that a confirmations SEA survey email to show that it was submitted and received.
