Pima students,
You will soon be invited to take the Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE). This survey is your opportunity to share your early experiences at Pima and help shape improvements in academic programs, support services, and campus resources. Your feedback will help us better understand students’ early college experiences and guide improvements in academic programs, support services, and campus resources. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. You will receive an invitation in your Pima email from gbell1@pima.edu with instructions on how to participate. To ensure everyone has a chance to provide input, you will also receive several reminder emails before the survey closes. We encourage you to take part and make your voice heard — your perspective matters! Thank you in advance for helping us strengthen the student experience at Pima Community College.
Join us at one of our upcoming live sessions to learn about D2L basics. D2L Brightspace is PCC’s learning management system and is used in all classes. We are happy to help you navigate the system! Sessions will be scheduled for 30 minutes but may extend longer if there are any questions.
Please RSVP on PimaEngage page.
