See a sample report. This is your last chance before the 2016 election to join more than 800 colleges and universities nationwide that have already learned their rates for 2012 and 2014. Over 150 ADP campuses are currently participating.This is not a survey! All you need to do is submit this authorization form. For more information, visit the NSLVE website.
