Student monitor

The student monitor is an annual satisfaction survey of all UM students. In this survey, students can state what they think of UM's facilities and services. An in-depth study is sometimes necessary to obtain additional information about specific topics. This supplemental research is done among the students who have registered for the monitor.

The student monitor is an initiative of the Executive Board. By using the monitor, the Board gauges what is going on among the students. This contribution is essential for improving UM facilities and policy.

How does the student monitor work?

You must register to participate in the student monitor. You can give your opinion after registration.

In addition to the general survey, students who have registered for the monitor get an in-depth questionnaire approximately five times each year. This questionnaire generally takes about 10 minutes to complete. If you sometimes miss one, it is not a problem: after all, you participate as a volunteer. The results of the survey are presented to the relevant UM departments. They will then make any necessary changes to facilities or policies.
