Why registration and enrollment surveys matter for community colleges

If you’re not running surveys with your Community College Student population about the registration and enrollment process, you’re missing out on critical data that could transform your student experience and boost enrollment numbers.

Enrollment at community colleges is shifting:

• Dual enrollment grew by 5.2% in 2023, adding about 44,000 students.[1]

• The trend of older students coming back for upskilling continues, with a 2.2% increase among those aged 30+ in 2023.[1]

• Massachusetts colleges saw a 14% jump in early enrollments after launching free two-year programs.[2]

Understanding why students come, stay, or leave—and which friction points slow them down—lets you:

• Reduce abandonment in the enrollment pipeline

• Streamline onboarding for full-time and part-time students

• Spot patterns among transfer, dual-enrollment, and returning students

• Boost student satisfaction with a process that meets their needs

If you’re not getting regular feedback about these touchpoints, you’re likely missing what matters most to the students themselves. Here’s what the best questions look like for this kind of survey.

Why use an AI survey generator for student feedback?

Traditional survey tools are clunky and often yield only surface-level data. An AI survey generator is a game-changer—it builds expert-level surveys for you and conversationally engages Community College Students for deeper, richer responses.

Why use AI for Community College Student surveys? In 2025, 42% of schools are now using AI to automate enrollment and administrative processes[4], while 65% of higher education institutions have adopted AI tools in admissions.[3] AI doesn’t just save time; it uncovers the kind of nuanced feedback that makes impactful improvements possible.

With Specific, you get best-in-class conversational surveys that make feedback intuitive, both for you and your students. It’s as simple as describing your goal—and letting AI handle the heavy lifting. Learn how our generator works here.

How to write questions that deliver real insights

We’ve seen it repeatedly: the impact of a survey comes down to the quality of your questions. Specific’s AI helps you generate clear, actionable questions—no guesswork or jargon. Here’s a quick example:

• Bad: “How do you feel about enrollment?”

• Good: “What specific step in the registration process was most confusing or frustrating for you, and why?”

Weak, vague, or biased questions lead to unhelpful answers. With Specific’s AI survey editor, you can chat your way to better phrasing, ensuring each question is open, neutral, and focused.

Actionable tip: For every question, ask yourself: “Will the answers tell me what to improve?” If not, tweak it for specificity and clarity. Also, check our advice on the best questions for Community College Student registration/enrollment surveys.

AI avoids leading wording and can add context-aware probes—making it much easier to get insights you can act on.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Here’s where AI-powered surveys from Specific really set themselves apart: they ask smart, real-time follow-up questions based on each student’s response, just like a skilled interviewer. This helps you gather complete, actionable context in one go—without chasing down students later.

Why does this matter? Without natural follow-ups, answers are often unclear or incomplete. For example:

• Community college student: “The application step was hard.”

• AI follow-up: “Can you describe what part of the application process gave you the most trouble?”

Without the follow-up, you might never know if the issue was with document upload, information clarity, or website navigation. Follow-ups are automatically generated by Specific’s AI—no need to script them yourself. See how automatic AI follow-up questions work.

Try generating your own survey above to experience these real-time, expert-level follow-ups in action. Because the AI adapts based on each answer, it produces far richer insights—for free.

These follow-ups turn your survey into an authentic conversational survey, not just another online form.

Delivering your survey: landing page vs. in-product

When it comes to sharing your Community College Student registration and enrollment survey, you have two seamless options with Specific—each with its own strengths:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Instantly create a unique link to your conversational survey. Share this link via:

  • Email blasts to enrolled and prospective students

  • Orientation resource lists

  • Your college’s website or learning portal

  • Social channels and SMS reminders for event-based signups

  This method works especially well for targeting both new freshmen and returning/adult students who may not be inside your main app or platform.

• In-product surveys: Embed the survey directly into your enrollment portal or course registration app. Perfect for:

  • Capturing in-the-moment feedback as students complete or exit the registration process

  • Triggering targeted surveys only for users who encounter errors, abandon carts, or delay finishing applications

  In-product surveys are ideal for maximizing response rates and getting context-rich feedback based on real student behaviors.

Choose the method—or combine both—that best matches your students’ journey and your college’s communication channels.
