While forging ahead with course platform innovations, the former one-hour course of College Assembly known as Chapel has been redesigned a weekly informative session of an Academic Symposium. This allows students to benefit from the experience of weekly interactions with professors and professionals. Interaction is an essential part of academic life. The symposium allows students to have exposure to division major presentations, and student demonstrations for creative intellectual purposes. The weekly symposiums that were initiated during the first week of the semester have proven to be beneficial. During the weekly interactions, students are given the opportunity to increase networking skills, meet with professors in their majors, improve communication and presentation abilities; plus glean the latest information that can have a positive impact on the Texas College academic community. Each major within the four divisions has committed to design programs for each week such as a major fair, internship orientations, graduate school opportunities, resume writing, financial literacy, soft-skill training, and various other motivational programs. Each session begins with an invocation, weekly announcements, reminders, and a weekly program. The Academic Symposium programming is designed to include the aspiration to respond to expectations of business and industry for core workplace skills mathematics, quantitative, analytical reasoning, written plus oral communication, and critical thinking/problem-solving. Having agreed on the three broad areas to be addressed, each division determined the learning outcomes. Thus, there has been an overwhelming response of attendance by students and faculty participation
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is online only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: The Academic Symposium is an influential learning tool for Texas College students. Students can become bored with the day-to-day humdrum of classes, and home. The symposium helps break the monotony of the college routine. In many ways, it can help instill a sense of camaraderie, and school spirit, or even help develop an interest in potential extracurricular activities and future careers.

The Career/Technical supply reimbursement program allows for grant funds to alleviate financial burdens on students in specific career and technical education programs. Hence, breaking down barriers for students. The program reimburses students up to $250 for out-of-pocket expenses. The expenses are program specific and are required by the program. Nursing (RN/LVN), Pharmacy Technician, Emergency Medical Services, and Surgical Technology program expenses may include badges, scrubs/uniforms/lab coats, watches, stethoscope, shoes, electronic device, and blood pressure cuff. Welding could include the student's welding hood and gloves. Barber and Cosmetology expenses could include the required student kit (manikin heads, clippers, shears, combs, brushes, hair dryers, curling irons, etc). Students have been very appreciative of the reimbursement program. Many, as we know, don't have extra funds for the additional costs that financial aid can't cover.

Jarvis Christian University has a two-tiered approach to advising in that students …
Jarvis Christian University has a two-tiered approach to advising in that students who have earned between 0-60 semester credit hours are advised by professional advisors and students above 60 hours are advised by faculty in their respective educational programs. Prior to the pandemic, the University strengthened its capacity to increase persistence rates by implementing an early warning and holistic student success management system, the Educational Advisory Board's Navigate.
Faculty identify at-risk students through the Navigate early alert system during the first four to five weeks of the semester. Using a cross-representative team of faculty, staff and professional advisors, the Navigate system was programed to send automated emails to students based on the early alert that was generated. The system provides students with detailed instructions along with the next steps they should take to get back on track.
Following early alerts, professional advisors invite students to schedule an appointment to discuss the early alert and offer any assistance needed. For severely struggling students, professional advisors will work with residence hall managers and the like to track the student, and if possible, meet with the student to mitigate failure risk and identify resources as needed.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: 78% of faculty completed 2,506 progress reports, indicating at-risk factors, for 732 unique students; 63% (N=461) were marked at-risk in at least one class for which intervention was provided through specialized email support. Of the students marked at-risk, 348 (75.5%) had a "C" or lower at midterms in at least one class, but almost half of the "Cs" were increased by 1+ letter grade(s) at finals. Further, all of the at-risk students who increased their grades from midterms to finals, re-enrolled for the spring 2020 term at a higher rate (77.3%) than the rest of the institution (62.4%).

The Early Start Summer Program (ESSP) was implemented summer 2017, a summer bridge-style program for high school graduates who will be first-time entering freshmen. Designed to accelerate credit accumulation, enhance self-confidence and self-efficacy, and foster a sense of belonging, ESSP included a full-bodied cohort college experience in a summer term. Much like the CUNY ASAP program, students are placed in blocked courses, are offered supplemental instruction opportunities, are assigned a peer mentor, participate in social and civic activities such as community service, and receive specialized advising and orientation. Students can earn up to 12 semester credit hours in transferrable coursework and receive a substantive reduction in tuition.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: One cohort, students entering as first-time freshmen in the summer of 2017, has matriculated through to completion. The ESSP students within this cohort had a higher graduation (four-year) and retention rate than that of the 2017 total entering freshmen cohort. Due to its model of credit acceleration, nearly half graduated early (i.e., within 3-3.5 years). Post-program focus group data revealed that students preferred to receive the same degree of support throughout their entire first year.

The First Year Institute Seminar’s goal is to teach students “how to …
The First Year Institute Seminar’s goal is to teach students “how to be a college student.” We examine factors that underlie learning, success, and personal development in higher education. Topics covered include information processing, memory, strategic learning, self-regulation, goal setting, motivation, educational and career planning, and learning styles. Techniques of study such as time management, listening and note taking, text marking, library, 0and research skills, preparing for examinations, and utilizing learning resources are covered. Includes courses in college orientation and developments of students’ academic skills that apply to all disciplines. All first semester freshmen must enroll in the course during their first semester of college. A final grade of C or higher is required, or the student must repeat the course. Our Learning Framework Capstone is meant to prepare students for transfer and or the workforce. This course includes 1) research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; 2) factors that impact learning; and 3) application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to draw continually from the theoretical models they have learned. (Cross listed as PSYC 1100). (NOTE: While traditional study skills courses include some of the same learning strategies, e.g., note-taking, reading, test preparation as learning framework courses, the focus of study skills courses is solely or primarily on skill acquisition. Study skills courses, which are not under-girded by scholarly models of the learning process, are not considered college-level and therefore are distinguishable from Learning Framework courses.) Prerequisite: 30 hours of college-level credit.
