The purpose of the PACE instrument is to promote open and constructive communication and to establish priorities for change by obtaining the satisfaction estimate of employees concerning the campus climate. Items on this instrument are divided into four domains: institutional structure, supervisory relationship, teamwork, and student focus.

- Very dissatisfied
- Not applicable
Institutional Structure
- The extent to which the actions of this institution reflect its mission
- The extent to which decisions are made at the appropriate level
Supervisory Relationship

Teamwork

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.
