Dallas College Enrollment Conversion Program

0.0 stars

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.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format.

PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)

APPROXIMATE PARTICIPANTS SERVED IN 2021-22: 550

Success Coaching at Dallas College offers concierge-style case-management and support through a learning care model to improve the student experience, eliminate barriers, strengthen student persistence, completion, and success. Through proactive case management, success coaching guides learners through their academic journey by empowering and inspiring them with caring, relatable, knowledgeable, and accessible strategies.

All Dallas College students are assigned a success coach who help students navigate college life and keep them on track throughout their academic journey. Success coaches engage students in comprehensive and customized success planning to fit their individual needs. Success Coaches are responsible for helping to orient students to college life, guiding students through initial discussions on career exploration and first-year courses selections, leveraging technology to track student progress towards academic and career goals, and liaising between the student and a broad network of internal and external resources designed to provide wrap-around support and eliminate any barriers that could impact the student's success.

Students may access success coaching services in multiple modalities including scheduled appointments, walk-ins, online conferencing, phone, and email correspondence. Success coaching services are available Monday through Friday from 8am to 12midnight to ensure all students have equitable access to support services.
