Our need is to increase persistence rates through intrusive advising support. Fall 2016 to Fall 2017 persistence rates for developmental education students were at 57%.
The necessity for this change is to improve Fall to Spring and Fall to Fall persistence rates.
Intrusive advising services were provided to students in randomly selected developmental courses in Fall 2017. 33 sections received services for a total of 767 students across all developmental coursework. Classroom visits were conducted monthly to provide information regarding campus resources, specialized classes, engaging students in early registration.
54% of students completed early registration with intrusive advising support. Classes without support registered early at a rate of 48%. 85% of students in intrusive and non-intrusive advising sections persisteed to Spring 2018. Fall 2015 and Fall 2016 cohorts had 74% and 76% Fall to Spring persistence rates compared to the 85% persistence rates that we saw for the Fall 2017 cohort both with and without intrusive advising support.
Intrusive advising services were provided to 33 sections of developmental courses reaching a total of 767 students. Persistence outcomes were the variable of interest to determine impact of this practice. Findings suggest that intrusive advising support higher levels of Fall to Spring student persistence, in particular during priority registration.

Juan - this is fantastic! Thank you SO MUCH for taking time to document this in our CATS system. I am thrilled to see the success with intrusive advising. I really hope to see an updated CATS with more data for this coming year. Thank you!
Juan, Great CATS! I really enjoyed reading the concepts behind what you were trying to improve, and I can see how this plays right into our P&C Academy. Looks like there is still a lot of work to come. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! With priority registration on Oct 4, I am looking forward to seeing more positive results.
Juan - this is excellent and we are so happy you took the time to share and document your experiences. I look forward to future data and hope this will be a process that is expanded as it seems successful :-)
