I noticed that NSSE has a total of 21 COPLAC schools doing NSSE this year (2014), but people are creating a COPLAC comparison group with a total of 24 schools. How can this be? Read Jennifer's explanation below, the June 27 email in particular. Brian R. Lashley, Ph.D. Assistant Director of Inst. Res. Eastern Connecticut State Univ. [PIR logo_20%_April 2014] From: Brooks, Jennifer Lynn [mailto:brooksjl at indiana.edu] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 4:42 PM To: Lashley, Brian (Institutional Research) Subject: RE: COPLAC list (3).xls Hi Brian, OK to share my message with others with one caveat. I just learned this morning that beginning this year we will also begin providing multi-year consortium and system reports when possible. In order to happen, a consortium or system will have to participate in two consecutive years and use the identical questions each year. So the COPLAC consortium report we provide you will still only include 2014 institutions, but it could be possible to receive a multi-year report in the future if there is consecutive year participation. Please let us know if you have any questions. Many thanks, Jennifer From: Lashley, Brian (Institutional Research) [mailto:LashleyB at easternct.edu] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2014 11:51 AM To: Brooks, Jennifer Lynn Subject: RE: COPLAC list (3).xls Thanks Jennifer. Can I forward that to all the COPLAC IR folks? Brian R. Lashley, Ph.D. Assistant Director of Inst. Res. Eastern Connecticut State Univ. [PIR logo_20%_April 2014] From: Brooks, Jennifer Lynn [mailto:brooksjl at indiana.edu] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2014 11:30 AM To: Lashley, Brian (Institutional Research) Subject: RE: COPLAC list (3).xls Hi Brian, New College of Florida, Shepherd University and Southern Utah did not participate in NSSE 2014. For comparison groups for the core NSSE survey, however, current participants could choose from both 2013 and 2014 participants so they could be included in core survey comparison groups. Thus, for the core survey, comparison group 1-3 can have more than the 21 institutions that participated in 2014. However, when we are talking about reports for the consortium itself, we cannot pull from multiple years (because consortium questions can and do change from year to year, while the core survey does not). So for the consortium report we send you, only 21 institutions are available. Let me know if that does not make sense, please! Thanks, Jennifer From: Lashley, Brian (Institutional Research) [mailto:LashleyB at easternct.edu] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2014 10:00 AM To: Brooks, Jennifer Lynn Subject: RE: COPLAC list (3).xls Hi Jennifer, Thanks for checking with me. I did email a few folks who were not in the consortium as of Oct 2, 2013 to make sure we have the right status for them. A couple of people seem to have 24 schools on their list, whereas the file you just sent has only 21. New College of Florida, Shepherd University, and Southern Utah are on one person's list but indicated as not doing NSSE 14 in that file you have. Can you have a look at my attachment. Thanks!

The attached document lists every campus that was deemed eligible to participate in the COPLAC consortium. Those highlighted in yellow indicate they participated in NSSE but not in the consortium. These are the institutions that will be added to the aggregate report. Can you please confirm accuracy?

Keene State College has just received our institutional report of the National Student Clearinghouse Six-Year Completions Report. You can see it here: http://www.keene.edu/ksc/assets/files/12694/fall_2007_six_year_completion_report.pdf I'm glad to have the national comparison data that this report provides, but I'd love to have COPLAC data as well, and I'd be glad to do the work it would take to compile it for everyone if enough institutions are willing to share their reports with me. Let's start with whether this would be of interest to enough institutions to make it worth the effort. Could you just let us all know (a) whether you have received this report for your institution and (b) whether you would be willing to share it just with me in exchange for getting back summary data for all participating COPLAC institutions? If enough of you say yes to both questions, then we can figure out a good date for submitting the reports themselves to me (rather than to the list). I look forward to hearing from you.
