UCUES is unique!

  • The UC Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES) is the ONLY official UC-wide sponsored survey of all undergraduate students.
  • UCUES only occurs every two years, so you won’t have another opportunity to fill it out until 2026.

UCUES makes a difference!

  • UCUES results are used in Academic Program Review for each undergraduate department. This means that the information you share on your experiences in your courses and major can lead to real change.
  • This year’s UCUES includes questions on your academic, co-curricular, and social experiences at UC Berkeley. Your responses will help our campus better set our priorities going forward.
  • In 2013 UCUES results helped lead to the opening of the UC Berkeley Food Pantry.

Communicate with campus leadership!

  • UCUES helps inform staff and decision makers about affordability concerns, campus climate for diversity issues, advising satisfaction, and so much more.
  • Decisions impacting your continued undergraduate experience will be made using UCUES data so it’s important to make your voice heard.

Prizes!

  • Once you submit UCUES you will automatically be entered to win prizes! There will be prize drawings throughout the survey period and the earlier you submit your survey the more chances you have to win!
