There are nine Benchmark reports. The first report is a Summary Table, which provides scores on each of the five benchmarks for your institution, a comparison group, and the 2006 CCSSE Cohort colleges. Meanwhile, the Benchmark Deciles Report highlights the five benchmark deciles for all students at your institution. Finally, the third report - Bar Charts and Benchmark Item Composition - uses bar charts to represent the data provided in the summary table, for all students for each benchmark. The next series of reports contains the same reports described above broken down by enrollment status (part- and full-time) for your institution, a comparison group, and 2006 CCSSE Cohort colleges. The final set of reports contains the same reports described above broken down by credit hour status (0 to 29 and 30+ credits) for your institution, a comparison group, and the 2006 CCSSE Cohort colleges.
