Comprehensive Reporting

CCSSE (2017)

The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE - usually pronounced "sessy") is a voluntary survey in which nearly 300 community colleges across the nation participate.  CCSSE is designed to assess institutional practices and student behaviors that are highly correlated with student learning and retention.   The results are compiled into CCSSE’s five benchmarks, each of which reflects institutional practices and student behaviors that promote student engagement: Active and Collaborative Learning; Student Effort; Academic Challenge; Student-Faculty Interaction; and, Support for Learners.

Below are CCSSE findings and comparison reports.  Please Contact Us if you have any questions about the survey results.
