As you are approaching graduation or for up to six months after graduating, you may be receiving requests to complete your first destination Survey, so what is a First Destination Survey?
A First Destination Survey captures information regarding how new college graduates fare in their careers within six months of graduation. The initiative is to provide clear, concise, and consistent data on the outcomes associated with a college education on a national scale.

You are able to complete your survey multiple times, so don't worry if you haven't received that job offer or grad school acceptance yet. You can always indicate that you are still seeking and then update your results as your situation changes.
