SHSU is a partner of Navigate EAB and utilizes this technology as our primary student success management system. The Coordinated Care Network is a function of Navigate EAB and has been employed at SHSU as a retention-based partnership across several divisions. The Coordinated Care Network supports student success by bridging institutional efforts in receiving and triaging student alerts and referrals through Campus Connect (Navigate EAB). When faculty or staff issue an alert or referral, Campus Connect is configured to enact a chain of technology driven events to connect the student with the expert department who then provides appropriate intervention. Additionally, we target high-needs students to submit an alert or referral on themselves to receive assistance with their particular need(s). Overall, students who are alerted through the Coordinated Care Network and/or self-alert process experience positive gains in credit completion, term GPA outcomes, and persistence rates.

Each activity falls under one of the target areas represented by the DREAMS acronym. The program covers use of technology, cultural diversity, financial literacy, team building, note taking and study skills, academic and organizational skills, career planning, clubs and organizations, campus tours, and non-academic support services.

The program utilizes student mentors to help new students identify people on their campus that can be a resource as they start college. Howard College history and tradition is also covered so that students can begin to understand and relate to being a Hawk. Students are asked to bring their laptop with them but are provided with needed supplies throughout the program. Students are required to stay throughout the day and lunch is provided.

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 University of the Incarnate Word FLIGHT (Financial Literacy, Integrated Guidance and Health career Tracks) program is a transformational university- wide, multi-pronged mentorship program for Hispanic and low income students who might otherwise not complete their degree and graduate. Research shows that a network of mentors, who contribute diverse skills and backgrounds to assist students at varying stages of the college experience, is more effective than one or more stand-alone mentoring programs.

The UIW FLIGHT program includes three activities:

- A FLIGHT Mentoring Center to implement a coordinated mentoring program that affords students access to mentors to guide them to graduation with a developed academic and financial plan.
- A first-year course taught by FLIGHT-certified faculty and embedded in learning communities with FLIGHT-certified peer mentors.
- A health professions pathway guided by a FLIGHT-certified Pre-Health mentor/advisor who works with the Health Professions Advisory Council, which is comprised of undergraduate faculty and mentors who support the pre-health academic programs at UIW.

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.
