Campus Climate Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

The campus climate survey is created to assess the views of undergraduate and graduate students to reflect on their experiences at the university campus, both overall and as related to diversity and inclusion. The questions covered in the survey template span from campus to classroom experiences, use, and accessibility of student services, interactions with others on campus, and participation in multicultural and other activities. The survey questionnaire also covers student opinions and at the same time implies how the university is dedicated to emphasize and support diversity on campus, and about experiences that have potentially shaped students attitudes about diversity.
