We invite all institutions using CSSE to participate in the College Staff Survey of Student Engagement (CSSSE). Student Engagement staff handles all aspects of survey administration, including invitations, follow-up messages, delivery of the online survey, compilations of data, and analysis of results.

  • CSSSE will be administered from August to September at participating universities.
  • In order to administer CSSSE, an institution must also administer CSSE.
  • Lecturer responses are anonymous to their institutions.
The timeline below approximates the general activities of the 12-month cycle:

Registration and planning: January to May

  • Registration opens
  • Familiarise yourself with the administration process
Survey preparation: May and June

Material preparation (e.g. population file) takes place between May and June. CSSSE participants submit materials that will be processed for administration.
