National College Health Assessment (NCHA)

What is the survey about?

The National College Health Assessment (NCHA) is an important research survey designed to gather valuable data about a wide range of health and wellness issues that can significantly impact students and their overall academic performance. It is administered every three years by the American College Health Association (ACHA). This research initiative is critical in helping Centennial College better understand the specific health needs of our student population and identify areas where health and promotion services can be improved and expanded across its various campuses. By gathering this vital information, Centennial College is better equipped to provide students with the support and resources they need to maintain their health, well-being, and academic success.

Who can answer the survey?

Centennial randomly selects from a subset of all students who are enrolled in full-time, part-time, continuing education and apprenticeship programs during the survey cycle to be asked to participate. Learn more about NCHA survey.
