Community College Registration — Phase I Survey Results
Last updated: January 10, 2011
The Center for Financial Aid Policy and Practice in Community Colleges (Center) has been approached by the financial aid directors at many community colleges to gather and share information about student enrollment, financial aid application, and award processing during peak registration times. As a result, the Center is conducting brief surveys to provide schools with real-time data comparisons with fellow community colleges at three different intervals during the Spring 2011 semester.
The below table and chart display the compiled data for the first interval of the registration process. Please watch for and respond to additional survey requests during the weeks of January 18 and February 1, 2011.
We appreciate the many institutions that have taken the time to participate and encourage you to use the information provided in any way that is beneficial to your institution.
