Only approved contacts can register their institution for BCSSE. Complete this contact request form to be added as a contact for your institution.
BCSSE targets three distinct groups of entering students: First-year students who are recent high school graduates, transfer students, and older students who have little or no prior experience in higher education.
You will receive registration instructions by email once your request has been approved.
BCSSE has helped us gain a nuanced understanding of the needs and expectations of our incoming students. We have used the data to enhance our advising, peer mentoring, and persistence efforts for first-years, and to identify the students who might benefit from different kinds of outreach.
