First Destination Survey Software

Build and send first-destination surveys with templates and public links. Review responses before applying to alumni records. Built for higher ed.

Build and send first-destination surveys fast

Use templates and cloning to keep questions consistent. Send surveys by email or share a public link. Alumni complete surveys without needing an account—responses are tied to their record after your team reviews.

Reduce messy data with review + conflict handling

Survey responses land in a review queue. Staff can approve, apply, or reject. Only applied changes update alumni records, so you avoid bad data in alumni outcomes and reports.

Collect outcomes without exposing admin access

Alumni respond via a unique token link. No login required. You control who sees responses and who can apply them to records. Department-scoped access keeps data visible only to the right teams.

How it works

Create or clone a survey template, configure recipients, and send. Alumni open the link and submit. Responses appear in the review queue. Staff approve or apply; applied data updates the alumni record. Reports and exports use that data.

Frequently asked questions

  • Who can see survey responses before they're applied?

    Staff with access to the survey review queue can see responses, approve them, and apply changes to alumni records. Department scoping applies.
