This printable alumni survey gathers career outcomes and community feedback from your graduates across 7 questions on a single, 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 and program so you can segment results, then measure how well the education prepared alumni for their careers, whether they would recommend the institution, how connected they feel to the alumni community, and how well informed they are kept. A current-status question tracks employment and continuing-education outcomes, a multiple-choice question surfaces how graduates want to stay involved, and an open comment box collects 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.
