If You MAP Academic success,
They Will Follow
Helping students navigate and
stay on course to reach their
educational goals…
Path to Completion?
What courses do I need?
When are my courses offered?
What's a degree audit?
Last time they
told me….
How will I
remember all of this?
How do I plan it all??
Why
isn’t
this
easy?
What pre-requisites?
Can you give me that list of
courses Again?
Quarters to semesters???
Questions abound…

How do we know what students need to do?
How do students know what they need to do?
How do we know the 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
without being too intrusive?
How do we ensure, that as an institution, we offer the
courses during the terms we told students to take them?
Challenges
► Catalog
& Degree audit don’t reflect an individual
students planning for the future
► Students self advise poorly
► Connecting Advising, Chairs, Faculty and Students
► Advisors duplicating efforts
► Where is the data?
► Community
College students “don’t do optional”
What can we do about it?
► Create
a clear individual Academic path for
each student (tailored to them)
► Be Prescriptive (but not Stringent)
► 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 with
out having to “Do Options”
