The University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey

What is UCUES?

The University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES) is an online survey administered every other year at UC Berkeley and each of the other undergraduate UC campuses. This survey is an important tool for understanding the undergraduate academic and co-curricular experience at Berkeley. UCUES data is used for many institutional purposes, including providing undergraduate student input into academic program reviews and learning more about students’ financial concerns. All UC Berkeley undergraduates who are 18 years old or older, as of March 31, 2026 are invited to participate in the survey.
