Faculty QEP Feedback Form

Goal #1

Improve Student Advising

Strategies:

·        Identify “at risk” students, especially among the incoming freshman class, as those who test into two or more developmental subjects.

·        Identify advisors for at-risk students and provide training for intrusive advising techniques (Academic Success Advisors).

·        Have at risk students see Academic Success Advisors until the students complete their developmental coursework.

·        Have at risk students take GE 101 instead of GE 100

·        Create an online advisor’s handbook, available to all advisors

·        Create an online student handbook

·        Create an advising web site for students and advisors with links to online manuals and other advising links.
