So What is MAPWorks?

The MAP-Works Survey helps you and your advisors understand the elements that impact your social and academic success here at UMass Boston.  The University has invested in this program as a tool to help aid in student success.  On October 1, all students were emailed a link and information about this survey, requesting that it be completed by October 15, when it closes. 

Note: Despite the similarity in names, this survey is not related to the College of Management’s Management Achievement Program (MAP).

There are benefits to taking the survey:

  • Help us help you: Survey results will help advisors and administrators assess trends in student needs which may serve as guideposts to developing additional resources for success.
  • Help yourself: The Survey will give you and your advisor insights to your goals so we can develop a plan together to help you stay on track reaching them.

And of course there are incentives for you to complete the survey:

  • You will be entered in a raffle to win Priority Registration for the Spring 2013 semester.  Twenty students will win a chance to register for spring classes before anyone else – and you know how those CM classes can fill up!
  • You get 25 MAP Miles.  This might not sound like a lot, but when you calculate 75% of you miles, you may find it comes to an odd number – and these 25 miles might make the difference you need to reach this requirement.

When you link to the survey, you should use your full UMass Boston email address with @umb.edu and password to log in.  The survey will only be available October 1-15, 2012 – so you are encouraged to take the survey NOW!

If you were a student who took this as part of the pilot launch in the spring 2012 semester, you should still take again now.
