CCSSE & SENSE


Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE)

Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) provides information about effective educational practice in community colleges and assists institutions in using that information to promote improvements in student learning and persistence. CCSSE's goal is to provide member colleges with results that can be used to inform decision making and target institutional improvements. CCSSE was conducted at Lane 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2017.

Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE)

Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) helps colleges discover why some entering students persist and succeed and others do not. Administered during the 4th and 5th weeks of the fall academic term, SENSE helps colleges learn what is working and what needs improvement in their intake processes and students' earliest classroom experiences with the goal of improving entering student retention and outcomes. SENSE was conducted 2009, 2012, and 2015.
