This
webinar provides an introduction to the Beginning College Survey of
Student Engagement (BCSSE).
BCSSE has worked with colleges and universities across the US and Canada to
collect important information about incoming students' experiences and
expectations for college. Since 2007, nearly 900,000 entering students at
more than 500 institutions have completed the survey. BCSSE results have been
used in many ways including: academic advising; retention efforts; first-year
program design and evaluation; accreditation self-studies; faculty and staff
development; and other uses.
Starting in 2019, BCSSE will include questions targeting three distinct
groups of entering students: (a) recent high school graduates, (b) transfer
students, and (c) delayed-entry students (those who graduated from high
school three or more years ago and expect to transfer fewer than 12 credits).
