The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers represented by the College Board, Peterson's and U.S. News & World Report. 

The goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of the information provided to the various surveying entities.  Through the development of clear, standard data items and definitions this goal is attained.

• 2019-20 Common Data Set
• 2018-19 Common Data Set
• 2017-18 Common Data Set
• 2016-17 Common Data Set
• 2015-16 Common Data Set
• 2014-15 Common Data Set
• 2013-14 Common Data Set

A&M-Commerce participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) biennially. NSSE focuses on two key areas:

1. The amount of time and effort students put into their studies and other educationally purposeful activities.

2. How the institution uses its resources and organizes the curriculum and other learning opportunities to get students to participate in activities that research shows are linked to student learning. 

Responses collected from this survey provides meaningful data which reflects the level at which student engagement improves over the course of their four year college experience.

What is an SSI Report

With this information, colleges and universities can target areas most in need of improvement in order to retain students. The SSI asks students to respond with a level of importance and a level of satisfaction. A performance gap is calculated by subtracting the satisfaction score from the importance score.

A&M-Commerce participated in the High Impact Practices Quality Survey in 2019. High impact practices such as service-learning, undergraduate research, internships, and study abroad have been shown to be beneficial for college students from many backgrounds. The HIP Quality Survey invited students to respond to a set of follow-up questions about a selected HIP they had experienced in order to examine the features of HIPs, to understand what contributes to their effectiveness, and to discover patterns associated with particular practices.
