2 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIRREPORT SUMMARY
The 2016 Undergraduate Student Survey (USS) was administered to sophomores and juniors in April 2018.
The USS is a complementary survey to the Graduating Student Survey (GSS) and was first administered in
2015. This survey report includes the questions’ ratings from last year.
Two questions on this survey also appear on the GSS. They are:
1. If you were to start all over again, would you attend TAMU-CC?
2. Would you recommend TAMU-CC to a prospective student?
Demographics
A total of 4,001 students were invited to take the survey. A total of 697 students opened the survey, but only
672 students answered at least one question and are considered respondents, for a response rate of 16%
compared to 14% last year. Male students are underrepresented in the respondent population. While males
are 41% of the population, only 27% responded to the survey.
KEY FINDINGS
General Campus Experiences
The items receiving the highest ratings of combined satisfaction (Very Satisfied responses added with the
Satisfied responses), above 95%, in campus experiences are as follows:
• The fairness of ACADEMIC misconduct disciplinary process (95%)
• The fairness of student disciplinary procedures (under Code of Conduct) (95%)
• The quality of equipment in computer labs (95%)
• The accessibility of computer labs (96%)
• The helpfulness of the staff at the mail center (96%)
• The cleanliness of recreational sports facilities and equipment (97%)
• The overall condition of University grounds and landscaping (97%)
• The adequacy of sidewalks on campus (97%)
• The safety of recreational sports facilities (98%)
• The cleanliness of campus facilities (98%)
The items receiving the lowest ratings of satisfaction in general experiences, under the recommended 75%,
are as follows:
• The quality of the food in the Dining Hall (73%)
• The price of printing/copying on campus (72%)
• Nearly 40% of the students who live on campus are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the quality of
food in the Dining Hall.
Campus Offices
Generally, 90% of students are satisfied with campus offices. All campus offices listed below received a
combined satisfaction score over 90% for Courtesy and 89% or higher for Helpfulness.
Courtesy Helpfulness
• Admissions & Records (96%) (96%)
• Veteran’s Affairs (97%) (98%)
3 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIR• University Bookstore (95%) (95%)
• Cashier’s (Business) Office (93%) (91%)
• Financial Assistance Office (93%) (89%)
• University Police (90%) (90%)
Campus Services
The combined satisfaction scores for campus services:
• SAIL Online Portal (94%) an increase of 9% (returned to 2016 level)
• Bell Library (97%)
• Campus Copies Office (83%) an increase of 17%
• CASA (tutoring) (91%)
• Disability Services (94%)
• University Center (99%)
• Counseling Center (93%)
• Health Center (85%)
• Dining Hall (79%)
• Other Campus Food Businesses (92%)
• Recreational Sports Facilities (96%)
The Campus Copies score recovered 17% from last year’s dive. Apparently, the students got used to no free
printing.
Campus Events
The combined satisfaction scores for campus services:
Student Activities and Events (93%)
Islander Athletic Events (everyone) (92%)
Islander Athletic Events (attendees) (92%)
Strangely, 221 people who said they never attended Islander Athletic Events rated their satisfaction with it.
Those people were removed for the attendee calculation.
Noteworthy items
• Many students noted that classes in their major were closed when they went to register (89 marked
“always” and 136 marked “often”, a total of 40%). Another 222 students (38%) said classes were
closed “about half the time” or “sometimes”.
• 16% of the respondents indicated that they would probably or definitely not attend TAMU-CC if they
had it to choose again.
• The satisfaction with the web registration process (77%) remained near the low level it reached last
year (76%). It was 84% in 2016 and 90% in 2015.
• Over 90% of students are satisfied with the bus service to campus: Route 5 (94%), Momentum shuttle
(92%), Route 37 (94%), and the Wave #63 (94%).
• Over 62% of the respondents were at the junior level; therefore, they have had three years of campus
experience on which to base their opinions.
4 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIRAbout the response numbers:
Respondents did not necessarily answer all questions on the survey. Therefore, the total number of responses
for a question will not necessarily match other questions.
About percentages:
Valid percent means the percentage based on the number of people who answered the question, not the
percentage of all the people who answered any question. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole
number, except when less than 1% in which case the exact percentage is reported.

Very long process. Been in the dark all semester because it's taking so long to hear back
I know full ride athletes that had been accused and questioned of plagiarism multiple times but nothing was
done.
I had an incident that ruined a lot of things for me even though this incident was out of my control.
unfair
Just an incident where minority groups were singled out and the campus decided to make the issue about
whether people were following rules. Guess the sentiment held by white supremacists doesn’t seem important to
the university.
Teachers and organizations (momentum) are able to falsify reports of student conduct as a threat any time a
student displeases them. I've been threatened with this action twice in this semester alone due to refusing to let
my civil rights be compromised. One followed through, providing no evidence, sending me into a spiral of anxiety
and forcing me to defend myself. I was cleared of all charges, but this process should not be used as a threat to
force students to submit without question.
I have seen students been favored.
Because
Havin
I think the procedures would be good if professors actually followed through on them and not let students get
away with things like cheating with just a little slap on the wrist and not even effecting their grades.
I had an incident last semester in the First Year program and I did ALL of the work in a group project. I understand
that not everything is going to be fair in life but I was under the impression that things would be handled. I
brought it up multiple times with my professor and he simply told me that "it would be reflected" in their final
grades. I didn't want the other girls to fail but they did not deserve an A in the course. I'm not entirely sure what
ended up happening with them but I remember hating my second semester because I felt things were unfair.
I have reported students in my classes before for cheating, even coming to multiple different professors with
proof of the person cheating and no actions were taken to discipline the student. This student cheats in the
majority if not all of his classes and he is striving to go to medical school as well as maintaining a 4.0 up until his
junior year of college, because he cheated his way there. That is not fair, not right and should not continually be
brushed off by professors.

CI classrooms, bathrooms in UC, trash on campus, potholes, parking garage is gross
I just don't like the sewer line next to the dining hall. Smells horrible.
The smell in front of the University Center
The CI building often lacks A/C and is not up to the standards of the other buildings. Parking is also a
challenge - add another parking garage by the PAC!

some kids liter (cigarettes), and some tables are dirty, and the janitors won't come by to clean it for like 30
minutes or more.
the buss stop on campus can look better
computers in library
There are still bits of trash here and there, stuff like chip bags and plastic bottles, but overall it's pretty good.
The area around the outside of the island could use a good clean up though.
Bike Trail in brush areas are messy
I pick up trash on my way from the parking lot to class every day I'm on campus. There are dozens of trash
cans every where and I haven't littered in years because of this fact. However I feel that attitude is mine
alone with how many Subway, Starbucks, and Styrofoam cups I see everywhere; food wrappers, small pizza
boxes, cigarette butts, etc. Is it too much to ask that people just throw their garbage away in a waste
receptacle when they are literally EVERYWHERE across campus?

A safer way to get to the on campus beach.
Adding a sidewalk to the area that leaves the bus drop off, as there is no sidewalk over there for a good while.
There are plenty of sidewalks, besides I always take the quickest route to my classroom, a straight line, I do not
use the sidewalks.
More crosswalks from dorms crossing the street to get to the dining hall, bay hall, and the center for the arts
there should be more skywalks like the ones from CI for those rainy days
Need to be free of smoking
Not specific location but there's some uneven sidewalks that I keep tripping over when I'm leaving at night. Ex-
Walking from ECDC to UC
No where; stop spending money needlessly on athletics and campus "improvements." Consider giving students a
much needed tuition break instead.
Make some that allow one to walk straight from the bus stop to the bridge
Sidewalk from Hammerhead parking lot that leads to Coral/Pelican residence halls
Crossing Pecos Drive
Along Camden area
I'm satisfied, but I don't need sidelks so you should ask people who need wheelchairs if they're able twao get
where they need to be.
# of electric vehicles on sidewalks
for the bike lanes, there should be more lanes for biking, so bikers won't have to get off of their bike, or have to
worry about running into someone else
Biking from momentum to the main campus is tedious with that highway, and overall i would like to see a more

Work full time, attend campus only at night. I'm 55-years-old. Too old to be a part of this.
they are cliquish
I do not care to be a part of organizations. I do not liked organized sports or clubs dedicated to a particular cause. It
holds no interest and I find most people to be very opinionated and offended when hearing an opposing viewpoint
so I refuse to subject myself to organizations filled with people with double standards.
Still exploring options
It's hard to find information on groups other than ones based on your major.

I didn't like what I experienced and I have a problem interacting with others. Not entirely any of the organizations or

Our professors! All faculty and staff should support our campus events, especially when they pertain to a specific
topic. For example, if there was a biologist coming to campus to lecture about a new bacteria that is resistant to
penecillin, I would hope that the CONHS professors would encourage our attendance.

34 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIRComments
Students were offered the opportunity to leave comments. Certain things came up repeatedly, most notably
parking, dining, advising, as well as facilities and CASA. A summary of the comments in these areas is below. All
student comments begin at the bottom of page 27.
Comments appear as written by the students.
Parking - 14 comments along the lines of these…
• Parking is WAY over priced and the parking lots are extremely past due for being fixed. Pot holes everywhere but I’m
still expected to pay $80 for a parking pass?!? Ridiculous
• The only thing that needs help is the parking lots, they are way too expensive and are crumbling. It is easy to slip while
unloading my car.
• Parking - Please build another garage or parking area. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to park on campus.
• The parking lots suck. The road quality and the amount of parking close to the buildings.
• Also, there just isn't enough parking. I've already expressed this in other surveys. At best, it's frustrating. At worst, it's
angering when I arrive on campus 30 minutes before a class starts and can't even make it there on time because of the
lack of parking spots.
• need more parking. I waste time walking to class because its so far away
Dining - 9 comments along the lines of these…
• The dining hall needs to be open later for kids like Theatre majors who aren't free until late at night. Most
students are up late anyways and the food truck doesn't have very healthy options. Also, I have gotten rotten fruit
and undercooked chicken more than once from the dining hall.
• The hours of food operations and food options other than Dining Hall could be extended. Furthermore, the prices
could be reduced. A bagel with spread at Einstein Bagels is $3.00+, which is expensive for a student and in
general.
• I hope that somebody will actually read this in hopes that it will help improve the dining hall on campus. The
Islander dining hall has the most unhealthy food on campus, hands down. I'm vegan so there's nothing for me to
ever eat and the vegetables at the dining hall are drenched in oil and butter. I eat a sandwich almost every single
day because the rest of the food is so unhealthy and rarely ever do they have any real options for me. The food is
also incorrectly labeled such as brussel sprouts will say that they are vegan and then I go to eat them and they
have bacon in them. This is something that has really affected my life because I would have stayed living on
campus were it not for the dining hall but, because of it, I'm actually moving off campus because I have no
options and it is extremely overpriced for the quality received.
• The quality of on campus dinning (Einstein's) has decreased dramatically over the past month. Specifically, they
give less food for the same amount of money, and the workers are rude
• I'd like to have a campus cafeteria (not the dining hall) where students who can't afford Dining Meals can still go
and get affordable food. The salad bar is amazing! I'd like to have something like that but with more food-food
like burgers, pasta, etc, that is as affordable! Or at least give us some coupons...
Advising - 8 comments along the lines of these…
• I can't ever get in to my advisor-EVER. I don't understand why it is so difficult to get in to see someone who is
supposed to be here for me.
35 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIR• The advising Dept, not so much! I went through four, and seemed to always get passed off. Getting them on the
phone to actually speak to them, was next to impossible. I just felt like I had to do my own schedule arranging,
because there was nobody looking over it to make sure I was on the best track or had the right course sequence
going that would save time and money, getting me to graduation the quickest possible based on my needs. The
response was always, "schedule a walk-in". That's almost impossible as I am at TAMUCC for it's online option and
live two hours from campus.
• There is no communication between Advisors/programs
• I would also like to express my frustration with the academic advising experiences I have had. Over the course of
my time at TAMUCC I have NEVER had a pleasant/informative academic advising experience. I feel that the
academic advisors do not truly care about the student's success. I would call for evaluations of not only the
Political Science advisors but every advisor.
Round Building - 9 comments along the lines of these…
• Terrible staff in the finical aid and business office .
• The people in the round building are rude.
• My problems are with the Financial Aid dept and Admission. I have had to submit my transcripts more than twice.
twice to Fin Aid and once to admissions. I had an error on my Financial Aid. It specifically told me that I didn't need
to to anything. Luckily i went to the financial aid dept myself and asked them about it. They wanted me to submit
an unofficial transcript. The Fin aid gentleman behind the counter told me go to to the other side of the counter
and have her print it out for me. She told me she couldn't and I would have to go to the library. I did. I then
submitted it to the man that told me to get it. Days later i called about it because I can't expect anyone in Fin Aid
to be checking on something that would seemingly be their job, and they told me that they need official
transcripts. Now i cannot register for summer classes until i get all my official transcripts in. Who knows what I'll
need after i submit the transcripts. What I do know is that no one in the financial aid department will notify me
when something is needed. I will always have to call them and hold their hand through every step of the process,
that they should really be helping me with.
Registration - 8 comments along the lines of these…
• The main problem area is online registration. It always crashes and I have to sign up for classes later
than expected.
• The only problems that I’ve constantly had is with registration and it was with sail shutting down
multiple times for close to an hour each time
• Registering for classes has been difficult, every semester. There is never enough seating or section
options, so it never fails that seats fill quickly and I have to email individual instructors for
permission to get added in.
• It's really hard to graduate in a reasonable amount of time when so many REQUIRED courses in my
major are closed only minutes after registration opens.
Facilities - 8 comments along the lines of these…
• That, and bathrooms all over campus need serious attention. I. E. Doors not staying on hinges, countertops are
always a mess, something is always clogged.
36 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIR• There are several street lamps in parking lots that have not been operational for weeks. Overall campus lighting is
not sufficient. I walk alone to my car every night after working closing shifts on campus, and I don't feel very safe.
We need well-lit spaces to be and feel safe.
• The whiteboards in O'Conner are horrible. The CI has a very musty smell.
• Fix chairs in CI building that squeak when you move and disrupt class.

College of Business Students
Over the 2 years I have been here, I have come to learn a lot about this school. Over skewed tests based by a radical
liberal political science teacher brainwashing with her CNN narrative. All the way to putting me in 2 classes where I
swear the professors couldn't speak a lick of english because they were straight out of China. This 2017-2018
semester is the icing on the cake as to why I am leaving, waste of my money as I will be slandering this school back
home. Greatly disappointed with the education I have received, as well as my parents.
My overall educational experience has been great here on campus. Most of the professors I've had since I've been
here have opened my eyes about certain things and have made me feel welcomed. I've learned so much in my first
year of being here than my entire four years in high school. I love this place.
Very good. Difficult to find internships to gain experience and jobs that are interesting. I wish more companies would
come and companies that are more challenging. Too many local car dealerships and rental companies at career fairs. I
would like more international companies and bigger corporations.
From the time I started attending school here at TAMUCC, I have always felt welcomed and appreciated by my
teachers. I think the teachers in the COB in particular work very hard to try to communicate with students as often as
possible.
Overall my experience at this university has been good. However there are some professors who do a poor job at
teaching and organizing their course material. The food on this campus such as the subway or UC dining area is
somewhat clean. The employees at these food areas usually have an negative attitude towards students.
people in casa are stuck in routine and don't really care about your overall learning just helping you finish
assignments.
The professors are shit. They don't care about teaching the students. The advisors are lazy and incompetent. The
registration process if flawed. The financial aid office frequently denies financial aid to those in need and disability
services also don't care about the students nor do they assist students in need.
The first-year learning community is fantastic. I think having seminar has been an integral part of the overall college
experience and really gives you a feel of what to expect while you're at university. In my case Dr. McMahon has been
so supportive and helpful as I make my way through my first year!
37 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIRMy education this semester was a very ugly at the beginning.
With Gods' Grace , prayer, and the right individuals that God lead me to.
I was able to get on the right path to correcting issues I was having.
As well I was able to let others know where to go and who to talk with about their problems they were having,
It is a pleasant experience
TAMU-CC is a great university to get an education. All my professors and advisors are understanding and actually care
about my education, and prove it every time I come to them with questions or concerns.
We need a coffeee bar!!!
I have had a fair experience at my time at TAMUCC. I have had good and bad experiences here. Some of the
professors I have had here have had very hard times communicating their teaching styles effectively to the students. I
have also had professors that simply skip over certain concepts or chapters because they deem them irrelevant.
Can you replace Blackboard? Canvas is remarkably better and actually works.
College of Education Students:
I love this university!!
Please offer science core classes for those of us that cannot take them during the week day. Offer them evenings
please!!!
I would like there to be a way where when registering for classes the system doesn’t continuously kick you out. Also
that there are more courses that are required for major established. Also it has been expressed that it would be an
easier payment way if credit cards could be used.
My overall education experience was good. I am from a very different generation. I understand that there are much
younger students from all over, but it becomes an issue when they disrespect the professor, and the professor takes
no action due to fear of reprimand. Your staff should not fear telling the student that is constantly interrupting the
lecture, to leave.
It's alright.
Beautiful campus and feel safe!
So far I am enjoying my experience at TAMU-CC. My professors are passionate about what they teach and make
learning fun and easy to do.
As a transfer student, I must say the faculty and staff has been very helpful and accommodating.
Terrible staff in the finical aid and business office .
The major I’m in is horrible, they are not allowing me to graduate with in four years because they only have one
class available at one time with only 25 students allowed. If I would of known this I would of chose a different
school. It really is completely ridiculous that they are allowed to do that.
38 2018 Undergraduate Student Survey Results Prepared by Katharine Mason, PIRIt has been good, I find being apart of an organization helped me adjust to college life easily and holds me more
accountable. I have had many great professors and great classes throughout my time here, however, I have also had
a few professors that I feel have had a negative affect on my experience by being unaccessible or dismissive
towards concerns, conflicts, or questions myself and other students approach them with. I feel that being faced with
that in a class makes it a lot harder to actually want to learn in that class.
love it here
good job.
Could use more approachable and better teaching method of Chemistry *** lab instructor ***. Seminar professor
did nothing over half of the students not contributing to a research project the ENTIRE semester. Seminar professor
expected the ones who did contribute to shoulder everyone else's expected work and impacted other classes of the
students who were doing most of the work.
Its great!
College of Liberal Arts Students:
Tamucc does not give the "college experience" individuals are seeking. The professors are great and learning is
great but there is NOTHING here to do at TAMUCC. *** TAMUCC does nothing to make sure we have fun on
campus. There is barely ever anything to do at TAMUCC which makes the school very boring. Thus, leading to no
motivation or school spirit.
My experience had been average for the most part, but there are certain classes where I feel I am being assessed as
a group rather than an individual.
The people in the round building are rude. The food is too expensive in the dining hall. I can't ever get in to my
advisor-EVER. I don't understand why it is so difficult to get in to see someone who is supposed to be here for me.
Every time I call campus I am transferred like five times. Why can't I just get to the right place the first time?
The professors are fantastic. I think freshman seminar is a waste of time for high achieving students, should be
optional. And condense all of the websites down to one for students. One place to put all the on-campus activities,
one place to submit assignments, and one place to pay your bills, this would simplify everything. Also offer more
physics classes, when you offer only two general and university physics classes it is less likely that higher achieving
students will want to go to your school.
The only problems that I’ve constantly had is with registration and it was with sail shutting down multiple times for
close to an hour each time
I truly love my communication professors, so kudos to them.
The beautiful campus and great good like chick fil a and land express make for a happy, stress free environment
perfect for focusing on school work and expanding views and comfort zones.
I have had two classes in my two semesters here where the professor gets annoyed when you asks questions in
class. They are getting paid to educate us but get frustrated when we try to understand.
