The National Association of Graduate-Professional Students has created this privacy statement in order to underscore our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site: The National Doctoral Program Survey.

NAGPS regards the material submitted to this site to be expressions of personal opinion, and does not undertake to assess, verify or correct the accuracy of any submissions.

Protecting Identity

Survey responses are posted anonymously.

Your individual responses will NOT be released (though individual written comments can be made available with your permission). We will only report aggregated responses, such as the frequency of a particular response for a given question. Program-level results will be publicly available for all programs which receive ten (10) or more responses. For programs with 5-9 responses, program-level results will be available to participants, program chairs, graduate student associations, and graduate deans.

Demographic data will NOT be released on a program-specific basis. This information is used only in aggregate and is, in no way, used to identify you as an individual.


Collection of E-mail Addresses

The e-mail address you supply will only be used in connection with The National Doctoral Program Survey. Addresses will not be released to any third party, including, but not limited to, doctoral programs, graduate student associations, professional associations or institutions.
