  17. Non-Matriculant Survey – WesternU/COMP • Students who declined or withdrew after acceptance were online surveyed • All responses were voluntary and non-traceable to the respondent • Office of Institutional Research gathers, analyzes, and reports the data • Many respondents do not answer all questions • The Survey has evolved somewhat each year
