SHSU is a partner of Navigate EAB and utilizes this technology as our primary student success management system. The Coordinated Care Network is a function of Navigate EAB and has been employed at SHSU as a retention-based partnership across several divisions. The Coordinated Care Network supports student success by bridging institutional efforts in receiving and triaging student alerts and referrals through Campus Connect (Navigate EAB). When faculty or staff issue an alert or referral, Campus Connect is configured to enact a chain of technology driven events to connect the student with the expert department who then provides appropriate intervention. Additionally, we target high-needs students to submit an alert or referral on themselves to receive assistance with their particular need(s). Overall, students who are alerted through the Coordinated Care Network and/or self-alert process experience positive gains in credit completion, term GPA outcomes, and persistence rates.

The corequisite model at Amarillo College, for math and English, is a paired model with a 3-hour transfer course and a 3-hour support course. The corequisite model decreases time to completion by enrolling academically underprepared students in transfer-level classes, thereby eliminating the elongated timeline of the traditional prerequisite developmental education pathway. Academically underprepared students are treated as a cohort, enrolling in both sections for a total of 6 hours, and are not commingled in the transfer-level course. The support course functions like a lab or workshop and does not have a separate Developmental Education curriculum. Amarillo College uses embedded tutors in the support course to assist the instructor with one-on-one and group tutoring sessions. The transfer-level courses are: English Composition I, College Algebra, Mathematics for Business & Social Sciences, Contemporary Mathematics, and College Algebra for STEM Majors.

Embedded tutors (ETs) work closely with instructors for the duration of a course to help students understand course concepts and enhance student engagement. The tutor attends class meetings each week, and class attendance is based on the needs of the students and the structure of the class. In the classroom, the ET functions as a mentor and a model for successful academic strategies and habits. ETs are not classroom observers, teaching assistants, personal assistants to the instructor, or instructors. They have authority over students because instructors introduce them into courses. ETs follow the same “hands-off” rules as tutors in the Student Success Center (SSC): Help students understand materials, but don't do the work for them. Embedded tutors use “best practices” learned during the tutor training they receive at the beginning of the semester of employment. The tutors are intended to optimize classroom learning by working with individuals and small groups, including going over an assignment, reviewing a key lesson or skill, and preparing for exams. ETs also take on an advocacy and intermediary role with students, voicing concerns and ideas to the instructor based on student feedback. Their presence in the classroom enables students to better understand their instructor and the lessons. In addition, the tutor may hold study sessions for students outside of the designated class time. Instructors recommend their embedded tutor(s) from students that have previously taken their course and received an “A” or “A-” in the course. Currently, all of the ETs are assigned to courses in the College of Science and Engineering.

DREAMS Week (Dedication, Responsibility, Engagement, Academics, Motivation, and Success) is a zero week orientation program required of all new students and transfer students with less than 15 successful credit hours. The program began as part of Title V grant activities in 2021. The goal of the program is for students to feel comfortable in their environment, know how to access resources, be introduced to faculty and staff, and be engaged in student life activities while developing academic skills to be successful in college. Each activity falls under one of the target areas represented by the DREAMS acronym. The program covers use of technology, cultural diversity, financial literacy, team building, note taking and study skills, academic and organizational skills, career planning, clubs and organizations, campus tours, and non-academic support services. Student life activities are held throughout the days to help students become acclimated to their campus and engage with other students, faculty, and staff. The program utilizes student mentors to help new students identify people on their campus that can be a resource as they start college. Howard College history and tradition is also covered so that students can begin to understand and relate to being a Hawk. Students are asked to bring their laptop with them but are provided with needed supplies throughout the program. Students are required to stay throughout the day and lunch is provided.

The Dallas College Conversion Program seeks to ensure that specific populations maintain momentum when engaging the enrollment process. Specifically, it ensures that students who "apply and not enroll" are monitored and engaged. These are students that despite numerous traditional outreach attempts do not take action and are "stuck" in some part of the enrollment pipeline. Additionally, the program seeks to actively re-engage students that have stop-out/dropped-out in recent years (typically going back (2) two academic years) and intentionally connecting and providing very focused service supports for their anticipated return. The Conversion Program's overarching goal is to provide added and intentional support to engage/re-engage students that might have mitigating circumstances that do not allow them to move forward in the academic endeavors.
