In 2017, Paris Junior College was one of 30 colleges chosen nationwide by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) to lead the Guided Pathways initiative, which focuses on helping students clarify their goals, so that they can enter an educational pathway designed to help them achieve those goals and finish certificates or degrees with fewer excess hours and better preparation for employment or transfer to a four-year institution. Students choose a program within a pathway that aligns with their goals and interests. The Program Map specifies which courses the student should take and in what order, the marketable skills and outcomes and career opportunities associated with that program, and information regarding transfer to a four-year institution, where appropriate. PJC Program Maps are designed to help students stay on track with regard to their coursework and finish certificates or degrees with fewer excess hours. Academic advising is provided to all new and returning students by a Student Success Coach (Academic Advisor). Students are required to use college advising services when registering for their first semester of classes, and students who have not demonstrated college readiness are required to use advising services during each semester’s registration until such readiness has been achieved. Transfer students are also required to work with an advisor to register for their first semester. Students are assigned to a Student Success Coach at the beginning of their first term at PJC. Success Coaches assist students in the selection of appropriate educational programs, the selection of courses and the scheduling of courses. Success Coaches provide guidance and encouragement to ensure students stay on track towards graduation in their chosen academic pathway. In addition, Workforce faculty members assist with advising students in their educational areas.

The Success Coaching Program is designed to help both undergraduate and graduate students develop their academic skills by matching their individual learning style and academic needs with effective strategies to meet their course requirements at UHCL. Students participating in this program have 2 options: requesting a one-time session to work on a particular skill, or meeting for multiple sessions on a weekly or as-needed basis. Students opting for a one-time session are assigned based on schedule and skills requested to an available coach. Students choosing to meet on a continual basis meet first with the Assistant Director to best determine individual academic needs and goals and then meet regularly with a Success Coach. The student's Success Coach coordinates a skill development plan with the student utilizing material from the student's current courses. Students are able to schedule their initial appointment by emailing or calling the office phone. After the student's initial appointment students can then schedule their own appointments at their convenience.

The skills that a Success Coach and students may develop include, but are not limited to, organization and time/task management, academic reading speed and strategy, note taking methods, test-taking strategy, critical thinking, and public speaking. The students' academic progress in these skills is monitored throughout the semester by their Success Coach. Success Coaches also offer students practical help with digital tools such as Blackboard and file sharing/editing in Google Drive for facilitating group work. Coaching sessions are available face-to-face or online via Blackboard Collaborate or Zoom as needed.

TSTCYou gives students access to flexible learning through Performance Based Education (PBE), which provides a competency-based approach with targeted benefits:
• Greater accessibility to their program of choice: course content is available in an online or hybrid format and students can set their own schedule within the semester.
• Potential of cost savings by virtue of a tuition-free subscription rate: in this program, the more classes a student moves through, the lower the cost
• Increased interaction with instructors: as students work through course content, meet with instructors one-on-one through online meetings, enhanced lecture, or in lab through hybrid program opportunities.
• Self-guided course completion: train around the student's schedule and goals using TSTC's pacing tool as a guideline.
