Abstract Institutions of higher education, interested in surveying current students, are in the position of being able to access a well-defined sampling frame (i.e., all new freshmen). Given a well-defined sampling frame, probability sampling, such as Simple Random Sampling, is a readily attainable method that grants the researcher two desirable properties: generalizability to the population of interest and inferential statistical tests. Most college students are Internet and e-mail savvy. Many institutions also give their students a personal e-mail account upon registration. Rather than traditional methods of surveying (mail or phone), institutions of higher education may consider an e-mail-Web-based survey. This paper describes how the University of Wisconsin System's Market Research Unit, using e-mail-Web-based technology, conducted a system-wide, institution specific Marketing Image Study. Many benefits ensued from this technology: markedly reduced costs, simplified fielding of the survey, and accurate and timely recording of survey responses. Response rates, precision of estimation, and statistical power ranged from acceptable to very high across all participating UW Institutions. Post hoc sample balancing and several other analytical techniques are described and the resulting benefits are explained.
