Embedded tutoring brings the tutor to the students. The tutors are present for lectures, so they know exactly how the teacher wants the students to attempt their problems. Students are more engaged when in groups and start to become a part of a group. Research has shown that students who feel they belong to a community, tend to stay. Students that need tutoring, but don't go, often say that they are either embarrassed to ask for help, insecure about their intellect, or afraid that others who see them might portray them as dumb. Embedded tutors address all of these concerns by sending the tutor to the students instead of the other way around.

The goal of the Falcon Maps Advising Summits program is to produce the best academic paths for students by bringing together faculty and staff to make sure students progress to degree in the best way possible, reaching graduation with less debt and in the fastest possible time. Faculty and staff are gathered twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring, by the University of Texas Permian Basin’s Student Success and Quality Enhancement Plan teams. At least one faculty advising mentor from each academic department is required to attend the sessions. The sessions switch between an interactive workshop facilitated during the fall and a conference style convening held in the spring. In both cases, faculty and staff learn more about the most up to date best practices for advising and mentoring students as well as the institution’s degree pathways.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format.

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

Seniors in Texas who attend a public school are now required to complete the FAFSA/TASFA or a waiver as part of their graduation requirements. To support students and families throughout this process, the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) hosts monthly evening FAFSA/TASFA workshops throughout the year at local public schools. A few morning options are also made available throughout the year to maximize participation. During these sessions, UTPB strives to assist students and their parents with completion of the application, discuss possible financial aid and scholarship opportunities for higher education, and counsel students on their financial and admissions needs for college. These sessions are hosted by UTPB’s Admissions and Financial Aid Offices and are come and go, so participants can get the help they need throughout the two-hour time block.
