Student Input

    Salt Lake Community College surveys new students, non-returning students, and graduating students each year to better understand the needs and experiences of those attending SLCC. There is no single or typical student at SLCC. Students vary tremendously in age, in their work and family situations, and even in the reasons they attend the College. 

     These three surveys provide valuable data that provides important insights into SLCC’s dynamic student population. As valuable as these statistics are, though, they only tell part of the story—the student population that completed these surveys possesses more diversity than statistics can describe.

     Students list their primary objective in attending SLCC as transferring to a four-year institution. Students list financial demands as their greatest difficulty. Most SLCC students work at least part-time; the majority take less than a full load of college classes.
