This printable alumni survey gathers career outcomes and community feedback from your graduates across 21 questions on a three-page, scannable form. It reaches every alumnus, including those who no longer open institutional emails, and takes only a few minutes to complete.
What this survey measures
The questions capture graduation year, program, and mode of study so you can segment results, then measure how well the education built core skills such as critical thinking, communication, and teamwork, and whether alumni feel it prepared them for their careers. A career section tracks employment status, sector, time to find related work, and further qualifications. Graduates also say how connected they feel, whether they would recommend the institution, how they want to stay involved, and how they rate teaching, facilities, and support looking back. Two open comment boxes collect ideas the fixed questions miss.
How to use it on paper
Hand these forms out at reunions, homecoming events, and alumni gatherings, or mail them with a return envelope. Graduates fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen and write short answers in the boxes provided. Collect the completed forms and scan them in batches: PaperSurvey reads the checkbox answers with optical mark recognition and converts the handwritten responses to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard with no manual data entry.
Customize this template
Add your institution logo, reword the statements to match your programs, or add questions about specific graduating classes or degrees. Remove any question you do not need, and the paper layout reflows automatically as you edit so every printed copy stays scannable.
