Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) Survey

The 2025 gradSERU Survey will launch on March 4, 2025!

The SERU Survey is UT Austin’s most comprehensive survey of student engagement and experience. The survey asks students about a variety of curricular and co-curricular topics, including research activity, financial experiences, campus climate and postgraduate career plans. The SERU survey aims to provide a holistic understanding of what it’s like to be a student at UT Austin, and the results from the survey are used by to improve programs and policies that impact the student experience.

UT Austin is part of the Student Experience in the Research University (SERU) Consortium, which includes peer universities such as the University of California System, the University of Michigan, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Virginia. There is both an undergraduate and graduate version of the SERU survey.

• Next administrations:
  • gradSERU Survey - Spring 2025
  • Undergraduate SERU Survey - Spring 2026
