Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE)

---

The Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) is a survey of new students and their experiences in the first few weeks of attending a college. During the 4^th and 5^th weeks of the fall academic term, SENSE asks students to reflect on their earliest experiences with the college. The randomly selected courses are courses students are most likely to enroll in such as first college-level English and math courses, developmental courses, and student success courses. Students that are under the age of 18 are excluded from participating in the SENSE survey. SENSE is only administered to curriculum students.

The six are: early connections, high expectations and aspirations, clear academic plan and pathway, effective track to college readiness, engages learning, and academic and social support network.

SENSE Means Reports

Means reports present an average of each survey item that has scaled responses (e.g., strongly agree to strongly disagrees) and compare average items responses between member colleges and various groups, or between student subgroups with a college. Means are not run-on dichotomous items (those with only two response options). These items are summarized in frequency reports.

SENSE Frequencies Reports

Frequency reports present the observed frequencies of occurrence (counts and percentages) of the values for each survey item (excluding demographic survey items). These reports are useful for understanding how data are distributed across response categories. Counts and percentages on frequency reports are subjects to rounding.
