MAP-Works

What is MAP-Works?

• MAP-Works is an online survey completed by first-year students.  
• This survey is a valuable tool for us to improve our services and make sure students have the resources they need to have a successful first year of college.
• Students receive a report that shows how they match up with other first year students as well as those WSU students who have already gone through their first year of college. 

When do students take the MAP-Works survey?

The MAP-Works survey is distributed to all direct from high school first year students during the 3rd week of the fall quarter. A follow-up survey is distributed during the 7-8th week of fall quarter. 

How long does it take to complete the MAP-Works survey?

The survey takes about 20 to 25 minutes to complete. 
The MAP-Works survey focuses on:

• Academic Success:  Improve students' ability to succeed academically by realigning behavior with grade expectations and focusing on elements of academic success. 
• Retention:  Minimize percentage of capable students who drop out due to issues that could have been addressed by self awareness or timely intervention by professional staff.
• Student Development:  Facilitate the establishment of relationships, address homesickness, identify residence hall living issues.
• Student Involvement:  Connect students with campus resources to facilitate involvement with campus activities/programs and leadership opportunities.

The survey also helps:

• Prepare staff to meet with students and better identify and address issues (support vs. diagnosis)
• Empower staff to identify students and intervene in a timeframe that can impact student performance and retention (reach out)
• Educate students about transition issues and provide resources to obtain help (reach in)
• Enable students to connect with campus activities and leadership opportunities to get involved (reach in)
• Provide insight into issues common to all students to facilitate college/university-wide solutions
