Why CCSSE?
The Community College
Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) is a
well-established tool that helps institutions focus on good educational practice and identify areas in which they can improve their
programs and services for students.
Administered during the spring to mostly returning students, CCSSE asks about institutional practices and student behaviors that are highly correlated with student learning and retention. CCSSE serves as a complementary piece to the Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE), with a more broad focus on the student experience.
