2015 Joint Statistical Report 

The JSR is a vital a membership benefit of NAASS, NCCSS, WASSA, and AUSS. Each institutional representative should have received a link to complete the survey. 

If you did not receive your institution's survey,  please contact the Virginia Tech Center for Survey Research at  vtcsr@vt.edu .
The JSR has two intended purposes. The primary purpose is to provide comparative information on college and university summer sessions that is useful to members of the association for benchmarking, evaluating, and improving summer session programming. The second purpose is to provide usable data for the overall advancement of summer session and its importance to the instruction of students and successful operation of higher education enterprises.

The JSR is only as valuable as the data that each of you submits. Please participate!
