A New Look for NSSE, FSSE, and BCSSE - Coming in 2010
NSSE is using its milestone 10th anniversary as a springboard to launch a new and updated visual identity. New logos and redesigned Web sites for NSSE, FSSE, and BCSSE will be introduced in 2010. Please check back for updates on this transition.
UPDATE!
Registration for BCSSE 2010 will be open March 1. Though most institutions administer BCSSE during June, July, and/or August, administration of BCSSE can begin as early as April 1.
During the summer of 2009, more than 73,000 entering first-year students at 129 institutions across the country completed BCSSE. Each of these institutions received the BCSSE 2009 Institutional Report, as well as student-level advising data. Many of these BCSSE 2009 institutions are now participating in NSSE 2010 and will receive a BCSSE 2009-NSSE 2010 Combined Report at no additional charge. An example of a BCSSE institutional report can be found here. An example of the BCSSE-NSSE Combined Report here.
The grand frequencies and means for the BCSSE 2008-NSSE 2009 Combined Report are now at: http://bcsse.iub.edu/results.cfm. These reports provides important information that allows you to compare the results from your campus with the overall frequencies and means for all participating BCSSE 2009 and BCSSE 2008 – NSSE 2009 institutions. The grand frequencies and means for BCSSE 2009 are also now available.
