Hello,
Thank you for your interest in participating in this study! I am a graduate student under the direction of Dr. Terence J.G. Tracey in Counseling and Counseling Psychology in the School of Letters and Sciences at Arizona State University.
I am conducting a research study to examine the influential factors on undergraduate students’ academic success. I am inviting your participation, which will involve filling out an anonymous online survey three times over the course of the 2013-2014 academic year. Your first participation will occur at the beginning of the fall 2013 semester; the second participation at the beginning of the spring 2014 semester; and your third participation will occur at the end of the spring 2014 semester. The online survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete at each administration. There are no right or wrong answers to any questions on the survey. Your participation in this study is voluntary, and you can withdraw from the study at any time with no penalty. You must be 18 or older to be part of the study.
Even though there are no direct benefits for participating in the study, your participation will provide valuable information that may help university administrators, academic advisors, and career counselors improve students’ academic experiences and satisfaction and ultimately their persistence to graduation. There are no foreseeable risks or discomforts to your participation.
Upon participating at the beginning of the fall 2013 semester, you will either receive extra credit or be entered into a raffle to win one of TEN $25 gift cards to a prominent online retailer. After participating at the beginning of the spring 2014 semester, you will receive a $5 electronic gift card to a prominent online retailer. Upon participating at the end of the spring 2014 semester, you will receive a similar gift card but in the amount of $10. You may decline the invitation to receive any incentive for your participation at any time.
In order to contact you at the beginning and at the end of the spring 2014 semester, you will be asked to provide one or two email addresses. Your email will NOT be linked to your responses in the surveys. Additionally, you will be asked to complete an identification form consisting of items that will ask you for your birthday, first and last initial, and the last two digits of your student ID. This information will be used to match your surveys together across your three participations. Your responses will be kept confidential. All collected data will be stored on a secure computer hard drive in the principal investigator’s (Dr. Terence J.G. Tracey) office at 446 Payne Hall at Arizona State University. The principal investigator and I (Kerrie G. Wilkins) will be the only people who have access to the data. The results of this study may be used in reports, presentations, or publications only in the aggregate form. Your participation in the survey will be considered as your consent to participate in the study.
If you have any questions concerning the research study, please contact Kerrie Wilkins at [email protected]. If you have any questions about your rights as a subject/participant in this research, or if you feel you have been placed at risk, you can contact the Chair of the Human Subjects Institutional Review Board, through the ASU Office of Research Integrity and Assurance, at (480) 965-6788. Thank you for your cooperation.
