Survey for Dual Enrollment and College Credit Plus students

Update | Friday, February 27, 2026

This spring, Columbus State is participating in the pilot of the Dual Enrollment Survey of Student Engagement (DESSE). DESSE is a national survey gathering feedback from students taking college-level classes while in high school to learn more about their experiences.

You may be familiar with the Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCSSE) survey. Columbus State has used the CCSSE survey in the past. Previous reports are here. The DESSE is a related initiative led by the Center for Community College Student Engagement at The University of Texas at Austin. It will help us better understand how to support College Credit Plus students. 

The survey is open through Friday, March 13. If you teach or work with Dual Enrollment/College Credit Plus students, please encourage and remind them to participate when they receive the survey link. Results will be available by the end of August.
