In Southwest Texas Junior College's 15/30/40+ Credit Hours Interventions, Success Coaches meet with students whom are seeking an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science when they meet key credit milestones. Success Coaches meet with each student to monitor student progress and plan future courses to keep students on track using student planning at each marker of 15/30/40+. Transfer pathways are also part of student planning. 15/30/40+ are markers for retention and completion. Once a student reaches the 40+ credit mark, the college's transfer team contacts each student to discuss graduation and transfer

The Individual Academic Plan (IAP) is designed to help students set a tutoring plan for the semester and establish appointments with the Student Success Coordinator to track academic progress towards success and course completion. The program's target population is students who are placed on financial aid suspension for the following reasons: (1.) failed to meet the quality (2.00 GPA) and quantity (67% completion rate) standards. (2.) failed to meet the 'probation' requirements. The IAP goal is for the student to be advised on the academic goals outlined and requires students to achieve a "C" or better in courses in order to bring their GPA or completion rate up.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format.

The STARS Plan program was designed to support students who are struggling academically. Our target population of students are those who are between the GPA of 2.00-2.49. At any given time, these students could fall below a 2.00 GPA, leading to suspension both academically and of financial aid. Dropping below this threshold could also present a challenge for students who are planning to transfer and/or those seeking programs that require above a 2.5 GPA to be admitted. The STARS Plan serves as a supportive system to ensure retention and persistence. Tutoring, resources, academic planning and staff support are all part of the process. Currently, student are not automatically enrolled in this program, but are are invited by their advisors to create a plan once they surpass the aforementioned threshold.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)

Transition to Success Coach model and Student Success Questionnaire (SSQ): With our transition to career and academic pathways and Success Coaches, our institution is able to better service our students by assigning Success Coaches who are trained in a specific career and academic pathway. With our SSQ, it allows our Success Coaches and our institution to recognize the needs students express individually to better serve them by sharing about resources available to them both on campus and in our community. The SSQ has generated an in-house referral process to better service our students. Both were established to increase student success in retention, completion and graduation and targets our entire student population.
