How to Choose Select 6 Comparison Institutions

This article describes how to choose your Select 6.

Select 6 is the process Benchworks uses to create your custom comparison group for eligible assessment orders. Your Select 6 comparison group includes six participating institutions that will be used in your comparative benchmarking report at the end of the academic year.

To make the process easier, Benchworks pre-populates your Select 6 selections when possible. These selections are based on available comparison data and, for returning members, prioritizes institutions you most recently selected. You can keep the pre-populated selections or make changes before the deadline.

Individual institution data will not be specifically identified in your report, which helps maintain anonymity.

For more information about comparison groups and profile information:

Keep or Change Your Selections

Your Select 6 selections may already be filled in for you based on available comparison data and, for returning members, prioritizes institutions you most recently selected.

Review the six selected institutions. If you are satisfied with the selections, click Save Selections.

If you want to make changes or if choices aren't pre-selected, use the dropdown menu for each selection and choose a participating institution from the available options. The year of participation will appear next to each institution name.

If your institution offered an incentive for students to complete the survey, select Yes and briefly describe the incentive in the text box. If your institution did not offer an incentive, select No.

Once you have reviewed or updated your selections, click Save Selections.
