Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most students did not start college in the Fall of 2020 surrounded by other students who were also excited for the journey they were about to collectively undertake. Instead, for the large majority of students, their only interactions with their college campuses were through computer screens--and even for the few who did take classes in person, the campus environment was undoubtedly altered by the pandemic. To understand the impact of COVID-19 on entering community college students, the Center for Community College Student Engagement added a special-focus module to the 2020 administration of the Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE), a survey that asks students about their earliest experiences in college. Using survey findings collected from entering students across 38 colleges during the Fall of 2020, this report illustrates that while most surveyed students' plans about the college they attended and their chosen pathway of study did not change as a result of the pandemic, COVID-19 did create challenges for the most vulnerable students. According to the National Student Clearinghouse, in fall of 2020, community colleges experienced the largest enrollment declines of entering students across all segments of higher education. The largest of those declines were among Native American, Black, and Hispanic students, reflecting other disproportionately negative impacts of the pandemic on these populations.
