Overview

The GRE® Search Service is a powerful, one-of-kind database that provides graduate and professional schools a cost efficient way to reach individuals from around the world who have taken a decisive step toward pursuing an advanced degree and who personally opted-in to hear specifically from graduate, business and fellowship programs like yours. Depending on your recruitment and admissions goals, you can use the GRE Search Service to reach a broad diverse group of prospective applicants or refine your search to identify the specific characteristics that you are seeking—ranging from detailed geography selections, gender, ethnicity, academic performance and more. The Search Service database, containing 18 months of prospective student data, is updated twice a week and will provide you with the most current prospects.

TIP! For a look at the characteristics of students who participated in the GRE Search Service in a recent

18-month period, view the data in Appendix A. The Search Service system is available 24/7, and you can perform unlimited searches or place an order anytime. Orders are typically available within two hours of submission and no later than the next business day.

Overview (continued)

Terms of Participation

Institutions Participating institutions must agree to the following:

• The information provided by the GRE Search Service will be used only by the institution and its agents and will not be released to other agencies or to individuals not acting directly for the institution.

• GRE Search Service information will be used only and exclusively to identify potential applicants and to bring to their attention the educational and financial opportunities available to them through the institution.

• The institution will not use names provided by the GRE Search Service to discriminate against potential applicants on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex.

• To maintain the confidential nature of student information, the institution will not copy, release, use, lend, sell, rent, or otherwise make available student information to any other institution, organization, or individual without the written consent of Educational Testing Service.

• The privacy of applicants’ information is the sole responsibility of the institution. Any inappropriate or secondary use of the GRE Search Service is prohibited. Violations of this agreement will lead to a cancellation of future service and will be subject to penalty.

Prospective Students Prospective graduate and business school students are given the option to be included in the Search Service when they register for the GRE® General Test or a GRE® Subject Test. In addition, anyone considering graduate study, whether or not they are registered for a GRE test, can sign up for the GRE Search Service.

Email Marketing

When contacting a list of Search Service registrants via email, your emails should be sent using email software or sent individually to each prospective student. This approach will keep the list of email addresses from being available to all Search Service registrants and assure that the information is not being inadvertently shared. To learn more, contact your institution’s local administrator or tech support. Important: Do not send emails to Search Service registrants by placing all registrants in the “to” field. This is a violation of the ETS Authorization and Use Statement and is subject to penalties.

Inside the ETS Institution Portal

The GRE Search Service is offered within the ETS Institution Portal, which provides convenient access to GRE and TOEFL institution services for GRE and TOEFL score users and their delegates. Additional services in the portal include the ETS Data Manager, the fastest way to access and view test-taker score reports, and the TOEFL Search Service, which helps schools find international students with the right English skill levels for their programs.

New Account Holders

When you login to the ETS Institution Portal for the first time, you will be prompted to change your password and select a security question. You will also be asked to agree to the Terms and Conditions and to select a contact preference for ETS updates, including best practice tips, webinar invitations and special offers about its products and services.

Administrative Features

You will have access to a number of administrative features. You can update your profile, including your contact and shipping addresses, change your password and/or security question, review your Search Service transactions, and add and manage users. Note that if you need to change your email address, you will need to contact a GRE Search Service specialist at gresearch@ets.org.

Forgotten Username or Password Retrieval

If you have forgotten your username or password, you can automatically retrieve your information through the ETS Institution Portal. Visit the ETS Institution Portal sign-in page, and select the “Forgot Username” or “Forgot Password” link below the “Sign-In” button. You will either be prompted to enter the email address that you used to create your account, or you will be prompted to enter both your Username and the email address that you used to create your account.

A full-access delegate can access the same Search Service features as the primary account holder; however they cannot add new users to the account. A limited-access delegate has all the same access as a full access delegate; however, they cannot place an order. To add a new user to an account select “Add a New User” from your home page in the ETS Institution Portal and enter the email address for the individual for whom you are requesting access. If the individual is an existing user, you will be able to select your institution and add him or her to your account.

GRE Search Service Criteria (continued)

UGPA in Major (Self-reported) When using UGPA in major, choose each UGPA that you want to include in your search. For example, if you want students whose UGPA is between A and B-, you must select A, A-, B+, B, and B-.

GRE Score Bands You are able to search the student database by GRE® General Test score bands or GRE® Subject Test score bands in combination with self-reported UGPA. The GRE Board made the decision to include GRE score bands in combination with UGPA to ensure that GRE test scores are not the sole determining factor in identifying students to recruit for a graduate program. Candidates who meet either the criteria for the GRE score bands OR the UGPA score range you select will be included in the output. When using GRE score bands to create a search criterion, you must first select values for “Overall UGPA,” or “UGPA within Major.” You will need to choose each UGPA that you want to include in your search. Once that information is included, you will be presented with options for GRE score bands based on the sections of the GRE General Test or for the Subject Tests. GRE score band is a search-only criterion. While GRE score bands can be used to build custom mailing lists, neither score band data nor individual test score data will be included in the output file format. The score bands for each of the sections of the GRE General Test and the GRE Subject tests follow.

GRE General Test Score Bands

Verbal Reasoning Measure 130-136, 137-143, 144-150, 151-157, 158-164, and 165-170

Inside the GRE Search Service

Once you are signed in to the ETS Institution Portal, click the “GRE Search Service” button to log in to the GRE Search Service. Once you log in to the GRE Search Service, you will have access to a number of search features. You can choose to create a new search, review and modify saved searches, place an order, schedule a recurring order, or view orders purchased. The Search Service Home page is shown below:

Figure 1: Search Service Home page.

16

Create a New Search

From the Search Service home page, click on the red “Start a New Search” button or the “New Search” tab to get to the New Search screen. The New Search screen appears below.

Figure 2: New Search screen.

Steps to Create a New Search Step 1: Select Your Search Criteria You will be presented with the search criteria groupings. To view the values for each criterion, select the criterion. To create your search, select only the criteria and values that help you narrow your search. In addition, choose from the two exclusion options: exclude registrants who have requested that their scores be sent to your institution and exclude registrants who do not have an email address.

Step 2: Specify Test Date Range Once you have selected your criteria, enter the “Test Date Range” for your search. Your results will include registrants that meet the criteria you have selected and who have a test date in the range you selected. If a registrant does not have a test date, your results will include them if they opted in to the Search Service in the date range you selected.

17

Create a New Search (continued)

Step 3: Name and Save Your Search Provide a name and description of your search for future use. Next click “Preview Results” to see how many registrants meet your criteria and the estimated cost. At this time, you can modify your criteria, save and continue to order, save the order or cancel the order.

Helpful Tips for Creating Searches

✓ To help your searches run faster, select only the criteria that will help you narrow your search. ✓ We recommend that you do not select anything as a search criterion that does not narrow your search.

Simply bypass the criterion and its selections. ✓ If a selection is not relevant to the needs of your search, you do not have to use that criterion in your

search. For example, if “Native Language” is unimportant to your recruitment efforts, do not use that criterion in your search. Only make selections that will help narrow your search. If you select all of the available choices, it will slow down the query and it will take longer for you to get your results.

✓ In order to remove an unwanted selection from a search criterion with multiple levels of search, simply

check the box to the left of the unwanted selection. ✓ If you want to delete the criterion from the first level of selection/top row when there are no additional

levels/rows added, simply uncheck the box to the left of the criterion.

Saved Searches

In the “Saved Searches” tab you can review the details of the searches you have previously saved, edit existing searches, create a new search from an existing search, place an order, or schedule a recurring order. Below is the Saved Searches screen.

Figure 3: Saved Searches screen.

Review Search Details To review the criteria used to create a search, select the “Show Search Details” link next to the search name you want to review.

Edit an Existing Search To edit an existing search from the list of saved searches, select the search you would like to edit. You can only edit a search that has not already been ordered. The “Edit” link will appear under the Actions column if a search can be edited. After you have edited the search, you may save it as the existing search or save it as a new search.

Create a New Search from an Existing Search To create a new search from an existing search, select “Save as New” under the Actions column. This function allows you to maintain the existing search while creating a new search.

Place an Order To order a saved search, select “Order” next to the Search you would like to purchase.

Schedule a Recurring Order Recurring orders allow you the option of scheduling orders in the future to recur weekly or monthly for a specific time range, so you know your campaigns are always going to the freshest names in the database. If you are traveling or just want to save time, this feature can be especially helpful. A recurring order cannot be

Select the search you would like to order from the drop down display and proceed through the steps to complete your order. If you would like to review the details for a specific search before you place an order, select the “Saved Searches” tab. You may review search details for each of the searches listed. In addition, you may choose to exclude any registrants whose information you purchased in previously placed orders. When you are ready to purchase a search, select Order to complete your purchase. The Place an order screen is presented below.

Figure 4: Place an Order screen.

Steps to Place an Order Step 1: Select Your Search

Select the saved search that you want to use to place your order. Check the box if you would like to exclude registrants that you purchased in previously placed orders.

20

Place an Order (continued)

The cost to place the order will be presented. If you would like to reduce the number of registrants you receive, you can do so by entering the desired number of registrants in the appropriate box. The system will randomly reduce the number of registrants in your order. If you need to make any changes to your order, you will need to do so before proceeding to the payment screens.

Step 2: Customize List Format (Optional) Choose whether you want the list sorted alphabetically, by postal code, or by intended graduate major field. In addition, choose whether to have the fields printed in proper case or upper case. You can also choose advanced formatting options to edit the file format. You can choose to export only the fields you want to receive. If you do not want to include a specific field of data, click the arrow on the drop-down box and select “Do not export.” You can also choose to name the fields to easily match the format of your current student management system. If you want to rename a field, simply type over the existing name in the text box in the “Custom Field Name” column. In addition, you can choose how you would like the data displayed in the output file. If you choose “Export Names”, you will not have to “decode” or “translate” values before using them to complete recruitment campaigns. “Export Names” is the default to receive the user friendly output of data. If you prefer to receive the values, that option is available by selecting “Export Values.” You can also select “Export Names (Values)” or “Export Values (Names)” in order to receive both formats in a single export.

Step 3: Name Your Order You can save your order with the same name as the search, or you van provide a new order/file name.

Step 4: Proceed to Payment Check the box indicating you agree with the Search Service terms and conditions, and choose the appropriate method of payment. You can choose to pay with an electronic payment or with a purchase order. If you are paying with a purchase order, enter the Purchase Order number in the space provided. This number will appear on the invoice that is sent to your institution. Next, click “Submit” to submit your order for processing. Note: Once you have submitted a Search order, it cannot be canceled.

To pick up your order, sign in to your ETS Institution Portal account, select “GRE Search Service” and go to the “My Orders” tab.

21

Recurring Orders

Recurring orders allow you the option of scheduling orders in the future to recur weekly, monthly, or yearly for a specific time range, so you know your campaigns are always going to the freshest names in the database. You can schedule a recurring order for any order that was previously placed. If you are traveling or just want to save time, this feature can be especially helpful. To schedule a recurring order, you must provide a blanket purchase order or credit card to cover the cost. To view your recurring orders, select the “Recurring Orders” tab. You can make changes to an existing recurring order including scheduling, formatting or preferred method of payment.

Schedule a Recurring Order To schedule a recurring order, select “Create New Recurring Order” on the “Recurring Orders” tab. You can also select “Add Recurrence” on an existing search order on the “Saved Searches” tab to schedule a recurring order. The “Set Up a Recurring Order” screen is presented below.

Figure 5: Set Up a Recurring Order screen

Step 1: Select Your Order Select the saved search that you want to use to place your recurring order. Once you select a search, you will have the option to review the search details, set a purchase limit, and identify who should be notified when the recurring order has been processed.

22

Recurring Orders (continued)

The “Auto Extend” box allows you to extend the Registered Date Range each time the recurring order runs. If the end date in the Registered Date Range is a future date, the date range will not be extended. Once the end date is reached, the date range will be extended to the current date of each subsequent recurring order. The Auto Extend box is automatically selected in all new recurring orders. Deselect this box if you do not want to implement this feature in your recurring order. Step 2: Specify Date Range or Order Limits Select the dates that you want to start and end the recurring order.

Step 3: Select Order Timing Frequency Indicate how often you would like the recurring order to be processed. You have the option of scheduling orders to recur weekly, monthly, yearly and for a specific number of times. Note that names previously purchased in a recurring order are automatically removed from that order each time the recurring order runs.
