This very robust initiative is our University's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). In an effort to ultimately impact academic success, it proposes to address issues and challenges related to the “whole student.” The plan proposes activities that directly engage students as soon as they express an interest in the university. It also proposes activities that support and empower students to matriculate beyond the first year and ultimately progress to graduation. The primary thrust of this plan includes targeted interventions during the initial months of enrollment designed to help students have a strong acclimation to the University from the onset. TSU has identified a topic through its ongoing comprehensive planning and evaluation processes, that include 14 key areas across campus ranging from Admissions, Financial Aid, Information Technology and Campus Engagement.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format.

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

0.0 stars

Austin Community College’s new, all-inclusive scholarship program supports students focused on starting a career immediately after ACC. Career Scholars receive financial and academic support while working toward a certificate or associate degree in an approved area of study. The scholarship covers the cost of tuition and fees — for a total of $5,000 disbursed over a period of up to 3 years — and ensures recipients have the guidance and support they need to reach their goals. Career Scholars builds holistic support services around the students, with rich career service resources and academic support in an effort to 1) alleviate financial barriers that often prevent underserved student populations from attaining a higher ed credential; 2) support students academically while enhancing their career skills, and 3) give students exposure to potential internships with industry partners in their area of study. The unique Career Scholars program serves two categories of students: graduating high school seniors and current ACC adult learners. Participants in the High School Career Scholars program work toward a certificate or associate degree in a field that was identified by the Texas Workforce Commission as having high demand and earning potential. These fields are: Arts, Digital Media & Communications; Business; Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Engineering; Education; Health Care; Manufacturing/Skilled Trades; Public & Social Services. The Career Scholars Program for adults is open to adult learners interested in the following career areas, which have strong hiring and salary opportunities: Accounting/Bookkeeping; Computer Sciences; Health Care; Manufacturing; and Applied Tech/Skilled Trades.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program that utilizes peer-assisted study sessions. SI sessions are regularly-scheduled, informal review sessions in which students compare notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools, and predict test items. Students learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together. The sessions are facilitated by “SI leaders”, students who have previously done well in the course and who attend all class lectures, take notes, and act as model students. The purpose of SI is to:

-To increase retention within targeted historically difficult courses
-To improve student grades in targeted historically difficult courses
-To increase the graduation rates of students

Calculus Success is a multi-pronged initiative to support students who are underprepared or otherwise identified as at risk for not passing their required calculus courses. There are four programs in this initiative:
1. Dedicated sections of first-semester calculus for students who do not demonstrate calculus-readiness, supported by undergraduate TAs, with a focus on collaborative learning using the Treisman Model
2. A paired-course model in which students take their first semester calculus course paired with a Signature Course (first-year seminar) course on critical thinking
3. Fall Reset - a program that identifies students who are not performing well in their first-year calculus course and offers them the opportunity to switch to a specially developed pre-calculus section for the remainder of the semester
4. Calculus corequisites - modeled after developmental education corequisites, students who do not demonstrate calculus-readiness are required, and students with other risk factors are invited, to enroll in a 1-hour credit support course for the first half of the semester. The focus of the course is peer-to-peer learning, community building, study skills, and content work.

Corequisite Developmental Education Model

Some Rights Reserved
Rating
0.0 stars

The corequisite model at Amarillo College, for math and English, is a paired model with a 3-hour transfer course and a 3-hour support course. The corequisite model decreases time to completion by enrolling academically underprepared students in transfer-level classes, thereby eliminating the elongated timeline of the traditional prerequisite developmental education pathway. Academically underprepared students are treated as a cohort, enrolling in both sections for a total of 6 hours, and are not commingled in the transfer-level course. The support course functions like a lab or workshop and does not have a separate Developmental Education curriculum. Amarillo College uses embedded tutors in the support course to assist the instructor with one-on-one and group tutoring sessions. The transfer-level courses are: English Composition I, College Algebra, Mathematics for Business & Social Sciences, Contemporary Mathematics, and College Algebra for STEM Majors.

Early Start Summer Program

The Early Start Summer Program (ESSP) was implemented summer 2017, a summer bridge-style program for high school graduates who will be first-time entering freshmen. Designed to accelerate credit accumulation, enhance self-confidence and self-efficacy, and foster a sense of belonging, ESSP included a full-bodied cohort college experience in a summer term. Much like the CUNY ASAP program, students are placed in blocked courses, are offered supplemental instruction opportunities, are assigned a peer mentor, participate in social and civic activities such as community service, and receive specialized advising and orientation. Students can earn up to 12 semester credit hours in transferrable coursework and receive a substantive reduction in tuition.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

PROGRAM OUTCOMES: One cohort, students entering as first-time freshmen in the summer of 2017, has matriculated through to completion. The ESSP students within this cohort had a higher graduation (four-year) and retention rate than that of the 2017 total entering freshmen cohort. Due to its model of credit acceleration, nearly half graduated early (i.e., within 3-3.5 years). Post-program focus group data revealed that students preferred to receive the same degree of support throughout their entire first year.

Embedded tutoring

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 F.A.T.E. Center is an initiative at Texas A&M University-San Antonio that serves foster and adopted youth enrolled at the institution who have been touched by the foster care system. Our program works with foster/adopted youth through the enrollment pipeline helping students complete their FAFSA, ETV, TSI testing, and new student orientation. Once the student enrolls at the institution, students are assigned a peer mentor who works with the student to engage with other foster youth, the campus community as a whole. The peer mentoring program is also focused on career exploration and major choice. All foster and adopted youth are also assigned an academic coach who works with students on their academic supports. Finally, the program has emergency funds and a supply pantry with non-perishable food, hygiene products, and school supplies. The F.A.T.E.

It’s our culture to provide all students with access to support and resources to help them overcome barriers and achieve success and completion. By focusing and measuring results on smaller groups, the college can ensure that its plans and actions will lead to growth and success for all students.GradUP promotes the value of earning an associate degree or certificate, including a shorter and less expensive academic journey, and seamless transfer of credits to four-year institutions. In addition, the program communicates the value of alternative academic schedules – like the 3x20 degree plan, which allows students to take 20 hours annually for three years to earn their associate degree. GradUP has become a guidepost for the college’s dedicated administration, faculty, staff and, most important, students. Ingrained in the very culture of LSC-University Park, GradUP continues to grow and push the needle on student success.
