Sample of a Family/Parent Exit Interview Family/Parent exit interviews are important to help you get the information you need to improve student retention and increase student enrollment. Exit interviews (or student surveys) provide your school with information on how the students perceive your courses, content, faculty, environment, services, and safety. Family/Parent exit interviews provide your school with an opportunity to self-examine itself and determine if there are things that need changed or adjusted.
