BASELINE DATA-continued(Cohort FA01 Students
Enrolled in 7 development Courses)
  • Within one semester WE LOSE 28.9 or 30 of all

  • Within one year WE LOSE 48.2 of all students
    enrolled in any developmental course.

    C or higher
  • Control Group
  • Non-Pilots (ENG 091, ENG 096, MAT 099) 58.2

Grade Performance Comparisons With/Without ORT
110 FA 02
  • Developmental Pilots ORT 110 (C- or higher)
    75.4 of students in developmental pilots
    receivedgrades of C or higher in Pilots (ENG
    091, ENG 096, MAT 099)
  • Developmental Pilots without ORT 110 60.7 of
    students in Pilot sections received grades of
    C or higher in Pilots (ENG 091, ENG 096,
    MAT099)

7
Role/Importance of First-Year Experience Courses
  • ORT 110 First-Year Experience Course
  • Most researched course in Higher Education
    within the last 20 years!

8
Excerpts fromAcademic Advisement and Student
Retention Empirical Connections Systemic
Interventions by Dr. Joseph B. Cuseo
  • First Year experience courses began 20 years
    ago.
  • More than 50 of students who withdraw do so in
    their first year!

9
More Excerpts
  • Student retention is an assessment outcome.
  • Student retention is now a Core Indicator of
    student success
  • Student retention efforts designed to manage
    enrollment are estimated to be 3-5 times more
    cost effective than recruitment efforts

10
More Excerpts
  • Retention research suggests that student
    commitment to educational and career goals is
    perhaps the strongest factor associated with
    student persistence to degree completion (Wycoff
    1999). (p.6)

11
More Excerpts
  • Studies suggest that students final decisions
    about majors/careers do not occur before entering
    college instead they occur in college.

12
More Excerpts
  • Prolonged indecision about an academic major
    and career goals is correlated with student
    attrition.
  • Lack of certainty about a major/career decision
    is number one reason students drop out of
    college. (Noel-Levitz, p.7)

13
Summary of Advising Implications
  • Students new to the College and enrolled in
    General Studies since FA02 must complete aCAPS
    Plan prior to completing 20 credits.
  • Options for completing CAPS Plan include
  • ORT 110
  • PSY 115
  • Alternate Path

14
Steps Weve Taken to Support This Plan
  • Handout
  • 22 Sections of ORT 110 scheduled for Summer
    03/Fall 03
  • 6 Sections of PSY 115
  • _at_ 600 available seats(Well add as we need to!!)
  • _at_ 800 students need to complete a CAPS Plan by
    December 03

15
ORT 110 Addresses 3 major issues that place
students at risk for failure or withdrawal
  • Lack of clear career direction
  • Weak skills in reading, writing and/or math and
    how to learn
  • Lack of familiarity/connection with College
    culture and expectations

16
ORT 110
  • Requirement for General Studies Students
  • Highly recommended for any student taking
    developmental courses

Remember QCC attrition rate for developmental
students is _____ or every ______ out of _____
students is likely to be gone after one year!
17
ORT 110
  • ORT 110 sections are now uniform
  • Student can enroll in any section regardless of
    general career interest!
  • Lets All get on board and support students
    success!
