Abstract	The use of exit surveys at the University of Washington was investigated. Objectives were to identify (1) how many departments or programs employed department-generated exit surveys to gather information from graduating students, (2) the type of information collected and its use by departments, and (3) criteria for determining the usefulness of an exit survey for departmental needs. For the 123 responding departments and programs, 27 indicated that they use department-generated, as opposed to university-wide, exit surveys. The type of information requested by departments on their exit surveys included: student evaluation of courses or sequence of courses, student career placement information, student evaluation of instructor effectiveness, and verifying a student's completion of graduation requirements. Results of the survey suggest six steps for designing and implementing exit surveys: identifying the goals and needs for the desired information; electing or appointing an individual or committee to create the exit survey; designing and pilot testing the questionnaire, and administering the exit survey; and using the information from the exit survey. The departmental questionnaire and exit survey are appended. (SW)
