Thank you for your interest in administering CCSSE 2026! Registration is open through October 31, 2025.
Administered during the spring semester to mostly returning students, CCSSE asks about institutional practices and student behaviors that are highly correlated with student learning and retention. The survey can be administered in the classroom or online.
This page contains the most essential resources for making informed decisions regarding CCSSE 2026 registration. You can also reach out to surveyops@cccse.org with questions.
Additional Items: Holistic Advising (coming soon)
Colleges that participate in CCSSE 2026 will receive a 15-item set about holistic advising (coming soon). This item set, developed in partnership with the Advising Success Network, explores students' experiences with holistic advising—a model of working with the “whole” student on academic, career, financial, social, and basic need issues in a non-therapeutic manner.
Special-Focus Items: Civic Learning
All participating colleges will also receive five special-focus items about civic learning. The items will explore students’ gains in civic purpose, bridge building across difference, and problem-solving proficiency.
