The Community College Survey of Student Engagement
(CCSSE)
Overview of 2009 Survey Results
Calhoun Community College
Introduction
The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) provides information
about effective educational practice in community colleges and assists institutions in using
that information to promote improvements in student learning and persistence. CCSSE’s
goal is to provide member colleges with results that can be used to inform decision making
and target institutional improvements. Student engagement, or the amount of time and
energy that students invest in meaningful educational practices, is the underlying foundation
for CCSSE’s work. CCSSE’s survey instrument, the Community College Student Report
(CCSR), is designed to capture student engagement as a measure of institutional quality.
CCSSE Member Colleges
CCSSE will again utilize a 3-year cohort of participating colleges (2007 through 2009) in all
of its data analyses,1 including the computation of benchmark scores. This cohort is
referred to as the 2009 CCSSE Cohort.
This approach, which was instituted in 2006, increases the total number of institutions and
students contributing to the national dataset; this in turn increases the reliability of the
overall results. In addition, the 3-year cohort approach minimizes the impact, in any given
year, of statewide consortia participation.
The 2009 CCSSE Cohort is comprised of a total of 663 institutions across 48 states, plus
British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and the Marshall Islands. Three hundred thirty-one
of these member colleges are classified as small (< 4,500), 162 as medium (4,500-7,999),
112 as large (8,000-14,999), and 58 as extra-large institutions (15,000 + credit students).2
One hundred twenty-one of the Cohort member colleges are classified as urban-serving,
140 as suburban-serving, and 391 as rural-serving.3
Our college falls into the Large Colleges size category and is classified as being located in a
rural-serving area.
1
For returning participants, the college’s most recent year of participation is included in data analyses.
For example, if a college participated in 2007 and 2008, only the 2008 data would be used in the 3-year
cohort.
2
These enrollment statistics are based on the most recent IPEDS data with the exception of
situations in which it is necessary for colleges to self-report.
3
These designations are based on the Carnegie Foundation Classification of Institutions of Higher
Education.

Student Respondents
Credit classes were randomly selected – stratified by time of day (morning, afternoon, and
evening) – from institutional class data files to participate in the survey. Of those sampled at
our institution, 880 students submitted usable surveys. The number of completed surveys
produced an overall “percent of target” rate of 88% Percent of target rate is the ratio of the
adjusted number of completed surveys to target sample sizes. (The adjusted survey count
is the number of surveys that were filled out properly and did not fall into any of the
exclusionary categories.4)
2009 Student Respondent Profile
To compare the characteristics of student respondents with the characteristics of the
underlying student population for each participating college, CCSSE uses the data reported
by the institution in its most recent IPEDS Enrollment Report for the following variables:
gender, race and ethnicity, student age, and enrollment status (part- or full-time). The data
are aggregated to compare the 2009 CCSSE Cohort survey respondent population to the
total student population of the 2009 CCSSE Cohort member colleges.
Gender (survey item #30)
Of the 870 student respondents at our college who answered this item, 50% are male and
50% female. This does not exactly match the full population of the CCSSE Cohort of
community college students, comprised of 42% males and 58% females.
Age (survey item #29)
2009 CCSSE student respondents at Calhoun Community College range in age from 18 to
64 years old. The majority (57%) of the respondents are between 18 and 21 years of age.
Racial Identification (survey item #34)
Seventy percent of student respondents identify themselves as White/non-Hispanic, 2% as
Hispanic/Latino/Spanish, 16% as Black or African American, and 2% as Asian. Three
percent of the student respondents are Native American. Three percent marked “other”
when responding to the question, “What is your racial identification?” These numbers
closely resemble the ethnicity distribution of the total student body at Calhoun.
International Students (survey item #33)
Five percent of our students responded yes to the question, “Are you an international
student or foreign national?”
Enrollment Status (survey item #2)
Sixty-eight percent of the student respondents at Calhoun Community College report
attending college full-time, while 40% of the 2009 CCSSE Cohort colleges’ total student
population attended full-time. Only 32% of surveyed students report being part-time college
students, compared to 60% as reported for the CCSSE Cohort for community college
students. This inverse representation is a result of the sampling technique and the in-class
administration process. For this reason, survey results are either weighted or disaggregated
on the full-time/part-time variable so that reports will accurately reflect the underlying student
population.

See exclusionary rules on page 4.

The results for the following student respondent categories are weighted
according to the most recent IPEDS population data.
Limited English Speaking Students (survey item #32)
Students with limited English speaking skills, or those whose native language is not English,
comprise a significant proportion of students in community colleges. At Calhoun, 4% of
respondents are non-native English speakers.
Educational Attainment (survey items #1 and #35)
Seventy percent of the respondents report starting their college careers at Calhoun.
Approximately 82% of students indicate that their highest level of educational attainment is a
high school diploma or GED.
External Commitments (survey item #10)
Six percent of Calhoun students reported working 1-5 hours per week; 6%, 6-10 hours per
week; 9%, 11-21 hours per week; 15%, 21-30 hours per week; and 46%, more than 30
hours per week. Sixty percent of Calhoun students report spending at least one hour per
week caring for dependents and 75% of students spend from 1-5 hours per week
commuting to class.
3
Excluded Respondents
Respondents may be excluded from institutional reports for the following reasons:
The respondent did not indicate whether he or she was enrolled part- or fulltime at the institution. Because all results are either weighted or broken down
by enrollment status, this is essential information for reporting.
The survey is invalid.
Students reported their age as under 18.
Students indicated that they had taken the survey in a previous class.
Selected Findings
The following tables highlight selected findings in terms of several key topic areas:
Cultural Diversity, Critical Thinking, Academic Rigor, Student Learning Outcomes,
Time on Task, Academic Experience, Barriers to Persistence, Student Satisfaction,
and Student and Academic Support Services.
