Savannah State University-[node:field-date:custom:Y]--Timely Interventions

Assign all students who have earned under 60 credit hours or less to professional advisors in the Center for Academic Success (CAS). All students under 60 earned credit hours are now assigned to professional advisors in the Center for Academic Success (CAS). These advisors mentor students, assist with major and course selection, and provide outreach to connect students with resources that support their success, with the anticipated outcome of increased retention.  Student support services are also offered through the Center for Academic Success, including free tutorial services, which are utilized to assist all students in completion of their coursework on the first attempt. Additional advising staff were hired last year to reduce caseloads and increase opportunities for each student to receive more intrusive guidance and support. Plans are in progress to equip the advising team with new technologies to support their work (predictive analytics tool).
