Current literature proposes several strategies for improving response rates to student evaluation surveys. Graduate destination surveys pose the dif?culty of tracing graduates years later when their contact details may have changed. This article discusses the methodology of one such a survey to maximise response rates. Compiling a sample frame with reliable contact details was most important but may require using additional sources of information other than university records. In hindsight, graduates should have been contacted prior tothe survey to introduce it and stress its importance, while email and postal reminders appeared to have a limited effect on non-respondents. Due to varying response rates between participating universities, online responses were augmented with a call centre administering the survey telephonically tonon-respondents. Although overall differences between online and telephonic responses appeared to be small, certain question items may need to be treated with caution when conducting telephonic surveys
