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+.

Once a student reaches the 40+ credit mark, the college's transfer team contacts each student to discuss graduation and transfer

The goal of "Advisors on the Loose" is to provide registration and advising information to students, with an objective of registering 80% of currently enrolled students for the subsequent term before the end of the current term. Once registration opens for the subsequent term, advisors begin "Advisors on the Loose." Advisors are provided an iPad. A registration lab is open while "Advisors on the Loose" is being conducted. Advisors, in pairs, go throughout the campus talking with students to inform them registration is open. Advisors are able to check student records by utilizing the iPad. They hand out a snack with registration lab information so students can go to the lab to register. Advisors are also able to connect with students by providing them quick advising information and providing them direction on how to connect with their assigned advisor.

Peer Mentors have successfully completed the Learning Frameworks course and now work …
Peer Mentors have successfully completed the Learning Frameworks course and now work closely with the First-Year Seminar instructor to provide peer mentoring and instructional support to one section of the Learning Frameworks's first-year and transfer students. Coordinating with an assigned Learning Frameworks faculty member to prepare for each weekly lesson, peer mentors serve as liaisons between students and faculty. Peer mentors are also clearinghouses for student success resources and campus events. They exemplify critical thinking by modeling class assignments, assessing weekly writing assignments, and facilitating small group discussions. During weekly peer mentor-student conversations about academic success tips, co-curricular opportunities, and targeted workshops, they create an atmosphere of trust, responsibility, and encouragement with students.
The First-Year Seminar Peer Mentor Program also benefits peer mentor cohorts. Peer mentors develop leadership skills vital to college and professional success; receive mentorship from faculty supervisors; create a close community within their cohort through shared trainings and experiences; cultivate fairness by engaging in challenging assumptions about cross- and intra-cultural diversity; and participate in professional development opportunities such as presenting at academic conferences, moderating First-Year Seminar events, and networking with campus and community leaders.

The TECHniques Center is the only program of its kind in Texas and one of only five in the entire nation. A fee-based program, we provide supplemental academic support services through one-on-one, regularly scheduled tutoring and academic counseling for students diagnosed with a specific learning disability, ADD/ADHD, and/or autism spectrum disorders. We individually match students and tutors to provide excellent academic support and accountability. In addition, tutors receive extensive training that leads to their tutor certification through the College Reading and Learning Association. The goal of the program is to help students build independent learning and self-advocacy skills so they can meet their educational goals. To achieve this success, the majority of our students will meet with their tutor five hours per week. This is typically scheduled as one hour per day during operating hours. Students will also meet with their Academic Counselor once per week for 30 minutes. This level of contact helps with content acquisition, accountability, planning, prioritizing, and time management.
