University Program Accreditation Self-Study Stakeholder Survey

Streamline Your Accreditation Self-Study with Paperform

University program accreditation is a rigorous process that requires comprehensive stakeholder input and detailed evidence of standards alignment. This University Program Accreditation Self-Study Stakeholder Survey template helps higher education institutions gather critical feedback from faculty, students, alumni, employers, and advisory board members during the accreditation review process.

Built for Comprehensive Accreditation Review

Whether you're preparing for regional accreditation, specialized professional accreditation (AACSB, ABET, ABA, CAEP, etc.), or programmatic review, this survey template captures the multi-dimensional perspective needed for a thorough self-study. The form evaluates alignment with accreditation standards, identifies program strengths and areas for improvement, and collects actionable recommendations—all essential components of successful accreditation documentation.

Why Paperform for Academic Accreditation Surveys

Academic administrators, department chairs, and accreditation coordinators need tools that respect both the complexity of higher education and the need for clear, analyzable data. Paperform's intuitive form builder lets you customize this survey to match your specific accreditation body's standards while maintaining a professional, institution-branded experience that encourages thoughtful responses.

With conditional logic built in, you can tailor questions based on stakeholder type (faculty vs. student vs. employer), program area, or specific standards being evaluated. The matrix question format makes it easy to rate multiple standards efficiently, while open-ended fields capture the qualitative insights that bring your self-study narrative to life.

Automate Your Accreditation Workflow

Beyond data collection, Paperform's integration capabilities help you build a complete accreditation workflow. Connect responses to Google Sheets or Airtable for real-time analysis dashboards, use AI Insights to identify common themes across hundreds of responses, and trigger notifications to self-study committee members when key stakeholders complete the survey.

For institutions managing multiple program reviews simultaneously, Stepper can automate the entire accreditation timeline—routing surveys to the right stakeholders at the right time, compiling evidence portfolios, sending reminders, and even generating preliminary reports that feed directly into your self-study document.
