This report provides a summary of the second administration of this survey that took place in late summer/early fall 2023 and included responses from 117 CCC by 29,463 previously enrolled and new/prospective (as of fall 2023) students.  \nResults from the 2023 survey revealed similar findings from the survey administered in 2022 in terms of what influences their decisions to attend college and/or stay enrolled in their classes:  \n• the need to balance and juggle multiple responsibilities  \n• mental health factors  \n• the cost of education  \no Nearly half of students who indicated they did not think they could afford college shared that they were planning to have paid for college via their own money  \nBased on these findings, we reiterate the three areas of opportunities identified in the 2022 survey:  \n• Re-emphasize the value proposition for college more explicitly,  \n• Increase student-centered course and student support services schedules and modalities, and  \n• Raise awareness and increase the utilization of state investments to support students’learning and basic needs.  \nTo highlight the need to further focus on college affordability , we add the following opportunity:  \n• Expand communication and assistance campaigns about the different types of financial resources and aids available to students to help offset the costs of education.  \no Examples include the proposed student-centered framework for Cal Grant, Assembly Bill (AB) 607: Course Materials, and Zero-Textbook Degree Cost Program.  \nWhile these and similar efforts are directly addressing college affordability in different ways, it will be incumbent upon the colleges to ensure that faculty, staff, and students are aware of these efforts to help raise awareness and, more importantly, access to these resources and services to help make college more affordable for students.  \nIntroduction  \nThe California Community Colleges (CCC) College Attendance Survey was designed to understand the factors influencing prospective and previously enrolled community college students’ decisions to attend a California community college in fall of 2023. This report summarizes the second administration of this survey in late summer/early fall 2023 and includes responses from 117 institutions, including 115 community colleges and two continuing education institutions, by 29,463 previously enrolled and new/prospective (as of fall 2023) students. The 42-item survey included a mix of fixed-choice and open-ended items to understand what influenced students' decisions to attend college in fall 2023 and items focused on reasons affecting the decision to enroll in fall 2023, prior college experiences, and perceived value of education.
