UPDATE!
The BCSSE 2009 administration was a great success. During the summer and early fall, over tens of thousands of incoming first-year students at 129 institutions completed the BCSSE survey. Each of these institutions received the BCSSE 2009 Institutional Report, as well as student-level advising data. Many of these BCSSE 2009 institutions will also participate in NSSE 2010 and 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 will be available in approximately mid-November.
