By including external assessments as part of our overall plan, we can see how our students are comparing with university students across the country and deepen our understanding of our students' achievements and identify areas of improvement. Surveys of Engagement Every three years, Cal Poly participates in a national series of surveys that provide indirect measures 1 of student and faculty engagement. These three surveys are as follows:   Audience Survey Launch Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) * First-time first-year students * New transfer students * Older/returning students COMPLETED IN FALL TERM 2024 (9/17/2024 -  10/4/2024) National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) * First-year students (the same students who took the BCSSE the prior summer) * Seniors COMPLETED IN SPRING TERM 2025    (2/25/25 - 5/12/25) Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) * Instructional Faculty COMPLETED IN SPRING TERM 2025  (3/14/2025 - 5/5/2025) Cal Poly compares these results with direct measures 2 .   ¹ An "indirect measure" in this case asks students to self-report on learning and experiences. ² A "direct measure" is one that requires students to demonstrate a certain level of proficiency for a skill or particular learning outcome.  Last updated: 7/18/2025 Related Content Office Contact Academic Programs and Planning  1 Grand Avenue Chase Hall (Building 115), 2nd Floor San Luis Obispo, CA 93407  Main Number   (805) 756-2246 General Email :  [email protected] CSU Initiatives * Associate Degree for Transfer * G raduation Initiative 2025 Other AIP Websites * Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology  * International Center * Service Learning Program * University Honors Program * CP Home * Directory * Campus Maps & Directions * University Store * Calendar * Employment * Campus Policies * Contact Us * Privacy Notice * Web Accessibility Statement * Title IX © 2026 California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, California 93407 Phone: 805-756-1111
