Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement
The Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) collects data about entering college students' high school academic and co-curricular experiences, as well as their expectations for participating in educationally purposeful activities during the first college year. BCSSE administration at the College of Charleston takes place during orientation and is designed to be paired with a NSSE administration at the end of the first college year, providing an in-depth understanding of first-year student engagement on your campus.

Faculty Survey of Student Engagement
The Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) is designed to measure faculty expectations for student engagement in educational practices that are empirically linked with high levels of learning and development. All faculty who teach at least one undergraduate course in the academic year in which we are surveying are invited to participate. The College of Charleston uses the course-based version of the instrument, in which faculty members respond to questions about student engagement based on a course taught during the current academic year. The survey is administered online via email invitation in the spring semester.
