The U-Flourish Student Well-being and Academic Success Survey is a longitudinal study that examines the well-being and academic success of students over the course of their university studies.
The U-Flourish Survey launched in September 2018 with a baseline electronic survey sent to all first year incoming undergraduates. Since then, thousands of students have 鈥渉ad their say鈥 by completing surveys every Fall and Winter semester. In July 2020, we included an additional evaluation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university student well-being and academic success.
Our goal, together with students, is to better understand what is needed to guide the development and enhancement of services and initiatives that will ensure a successful transition to university life and strong mental health throughout university. This study is also being done in collaboration with the the , University of Calgary, and a consortium of leading UK universities, , so that we can compare between universities and countries.
