Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE): The CCSSE is a national survey of community college students that focuses on their academic engagement while in college.
CCSSE Benchmarks: Benchmarks are groups of correlated questions on the CCSSE that each relate to a specific marker of student engagement. The five CCSSE benchmarks are active and collaborative learning, academic challenge, student effort, student-faculty interaction, and support for learners.
CCSSE Cohort: Each CCSSE cohort is comprised of institutions who administered the survey within a three-year period.
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS): A system of survey components that collects data from all institutions that provide postsecondary education and are eligible to receive Title IV funding across the United States and other U.S. jurisdictions.
PACE Climate Survey: The purpose of the PACE instrument is to promote open and constructive communication and to establish priorities for change by obtaining the satisfaction estimate of employees concerning the campus climate. Items on this instrument are divided into four domains: institutional structure, supervisory relationship, teamwork, and student focus.
