progress tracking, and early alerts."

How does the IPAS process work?

• Students are Identified

– Demographics, FTIC, First Generation

– Diagnostic Tools, Predictive Models, Alerts

– Student Intakes, Surveys, Assessments, Placement

• Holistic Coaching, Counseling & Advising

– Dashboards, Alerts, Predictions

– Journal, History

– Individual Plans of Action & Academic Plans

• Intervention Techniques

– Early Alert (Data, Faculty, Coaches, Staff)

– Student Self Help Tools

– Intrusive Interventions are Applied

Evidence of Impact

In Sinclair’s experience, students who are involved with technology supported (SSP) case management

• Are more likely to complete more courses successfully

• Have higher first term success rates

• Are more likely to return next term

• Are more likely to graduate

Pathways to Completion (PTC)

• FTIC “At-Risk” Students

• Assigned a Student Success Coach (before they register)

• Holistic Approach – Academic & Life Issues

Through holistic advising, counseling, web-based support systems, and intervention techniques, students are identified, supported and monitored.

Supporting Technology Tools Include:

• Case Management Software

• Academic Advising Tools (MAP)

• Early Alert / Faculty Access (EAL)

• Student Interface (Tasks, MAP, Self Help, Schedule)

• Student Information System (SIS) Integration

• Reporting Tools / Data Collection

Example

Outcomes

from

• Pathway to Completion program (PTC) participants have a 28% higher term-to-term retention rate than students not designated atrisk.

• Active students in the PTC program have a

40% higher average year to year retention rate than students not designated at-risk.

• The 2.5 year accumulated average term to term retention of minority PTC students is

29% higher than non-PTC (not at-risk) students. Minority student’s average term to term retention is 97%.

• The average Year to Year retention of PTC minority students is 51% higher than non

PTC (not at-risk) students. Minority student’s average year-to-year retention is

84%.

PTC/Transitioned SSP Students

Five times more likely to graduate within 6 years

Advising

(Driving Behavior)

• How do we know what students need to do?

• How do students know what they need to do?

• How do we know students have done what we told them to do?

• Will the students remember to do what we advised?

• How can we help students make the right decisions?

• Do we offer the courses we told students to take?

• Create “Ideal Pathways” through the

Curriculum

• Create a clear Individual Academic path for each student

• Remind the student, and everyone who works with the student, what that path is at every opportunity

• Take Action if they stray from the path

• “Default” path should lead to success without having to “Do Options”
