Note: As of August 16, 2009 the Personal Assessment of the College Environment (PACE) survey will be administered fully online. Previous clients who have administered the paper survey in the past will be transitioned to the online version for future administrations. No more paper surveys to buy and ship! This change will result in faster turnaround time of PACE results and a cost savings to the client. For more details about this new and exciting change please contact us.
