Every law school reports its graduates' employment outcomes to the American Bar Association (ABA). If your school uses Flo, you'll complete your employment outcomes survey in your Flo Forward account. Some of your answers will already be filled in from your Flo Forward profile.
Finding your survey
You can open your survey in two ways:
From your email: Your school will send you an email invitation with a link to the survey.
From your Flo Forward dashboard: If you have clicked on the link already the survey will be in your Flo Forward account. Note: You must navigate from the email link first.
Sign in to Flo Forward and look for the Surveys card on your dashboard, or open My Surveys.
If you don't have a Flo Forward account yet, follow the link in your email and create one. You'll be taken to the survey once you're signed in.
Before You Begin: Confirm Your Account Details
The survey opens on a cover page that shows your school's name. Before you can start, your Flo Forward account needs two things:
Your law school in your Education History, with your graduation year.
Your law school email address added to your account.
If either one is missing, the cover page marks it Incomplete, and the Begin Survey button will not work until you fix it.
Education History: Click it to add your law school. When you save, it changes to Complete.
Email: Click it to add your school email. Then open the verification email we send you and click the link. The cover page will open with your email marked Complete.
Once both are complete, Begin Survey becomes available.
If you see a message asking you to contact your school, your school's records may not match your account yet. Reach out to your Career Services office.
Taking the survey
Click Begin Survey to start. This will open the form.
Some answers may be pre-filled. Information you've already shared in Flo Forward is filled in for you. Review it carefully and update anything that's out of date.
Questions change based on your answers. Your answer to the employment status question decides which sections you see next, so you'll only see the questions that apply to you.
Your school decides what's required. Required questions are marked. Your school may also add its own help text to some questions.
Some personal questions have a "Prefer not to say" option. You can choose it if you'd rather not share.
Saving and coming back later
You don't need to finish in one sitting. Your progress is saved, so you can leave and come back anytime before the survey closes. To return, open the survey from My Surveys on your dashboard.
Submitting your survey
When you're done, click Submit to School.
After you submit, the cover page shows the date you submitted. You can click View Responses to see your answers.
Making changes after you submit
Whether you can edit after submitting depends on your school's settings:
If your school allows edits, you can update your answers and resubmit until the survey closes.
If it doesn't, your responses are locked once you submit.
After the survey closes, you can still view your responses, but you can't change them.
If you see a banner saying some answers came from your school, it means Career Services entered or updated information for you. Please review those answers before you submit.
Frequently asked questions
I can't open the survey.
You can only start the survey between its open and close dates, which your school sets. If the survey is open and you still can't get in, check that your Education History and school email are marked Complete on the cover page.
This may mean the information you entered doesn’t match your school’s records. Please contact your school for help.
Who sees my answers?
Your school's Career Services office. Your school reports outcomes to the ABA using an anonymous graduate ID, not your name unless your part of an audit request in which case your information may be shared.
I made a mistake after submitting.
If editing is still open, you can update and resubmit. If not, contact your Career Services office.
