Census Information for Higher Education Institutions

Census on Campus Initiative

The Census on Campus Initiative seeks to educate, engage, and mobilize college and university students, administration, faculty, and parents so that in the 2010 Census, every individual is counted—once, and in the right place. Learn more about it using the resources below.

Toolkit for Reaching Colleges and Universities

The Toolkit for Reaching Colleges and Universities is designed to help administrators at colleges and universities communicate the benefits of census participation and the unique ways in which students can be counted.

Toolkit for Reaching Renters

The Toolkit for Reaching Renters will help landlords, housing associations and other housing partners to communicate and share information about the 2010 Census, and help encourage census participation among their residents.

2010 Census Jobs Available

Be advised that there are a large number of 2010 Census jobs available. Please encourage students to call 1.866.861.2010 to find out where they can take the Census employment test. A practice test is available online (see the top-right corner of the page). To help facilitate this effort, please consider hosting space for testing or training.

Please note: to better serve Latino communities, the Census Bureau will provide on-site group practice tests and employment tests. If this is something your community can benefit from, please have them call 1.866.861.2010 and follow the instructions in Spanish.

For more information, refer to the 2010 Census Jobs FAQs. You may wish to distribute or post this document to your Web page.

Please encourage your higher education contacts to fill out the Census on Campus Partnership Agreement form, as it identifies ways the institution can become involved.
