Surveys and Tests
SENSE Survey
Aiken Technical College conducts the Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) every two years in the fall semester to gauge students' first impressions, expectations, and goal commitment.
CCSSE Survey
Aiken Technical College conducts the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) on a regular basis in an effort to assess student engagement based on five major benchmarks:
- Active and collaborative learning
- Student effort
- Academic challenge
- Student-faculty interaction
- Support for learners
CCSSE provides information that helps the college focus on good educational practice, defined as promoting high levels of student learning and retention, and identifies areas where the college can improve programs and services.
Note: the CCSSE survey was not administered in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
