VSU’s Quality Enhancement Plan (Experiential Learning); 4 year completion Spring 2025

Increasing pass rates in English 1101 and the major appropriate MATH courses is the goal of this strategy. Both the department of English and Mathematics have submitted improvement plans and are implementing them. Among the strategies being employed include:

As part of the consolidation with Georgia Southern University (GS), an Assistant Director of Student Wellbeing/Deputy Title IX Coordinator focuses on promoting healthy student conduct for the East Georgia Campus in Swainsboro.

We have replaced online proctoring from ProctorU to Honorlock (https://honorlock.com/). Honorlock is compatible with Chromebook laptops and is less costly than ProctorU. In addition, Honorlock is integrated into D2L allowing students to start their proctored assignments without the need to schedule an appointment.

Cultivating an institutional infrastructure for meaningful faculty-student interactions is a multi-year commitment, and this initial assessment will focus on product development. Once the professional development options are in place, we can construct assessments that measure the impact on student retention and progression.

“Relationship Rich Education” by Peter Felton and Leo Lambert was selected as a text and framework to support and empower faculty to make meaningful connections with students, both inside and outside of the classroom, to foster student success.

Augusta University has an aspiration to enroll 16,000 students by 2030. To reach this mark, we not only have to hit our enrollment goals, but focus on student retention. Our research shows that students who earn 30 hours in Year 1 are more likely to persist to Year 2 and to reach graduation in a timely manner.  Since the initial implementation of Momentum Year, AU has sought to increase student success by focusing on enrolling freshman students in 15+ credit hours during the first two semesters.

AU recognizes the need to first improve semester to semester persistence. In Spring 2023, the institution set a Fall 1 to Spring 1 aspirational goal of 95%. Since then, the institution has seen continuous improvement in cohort persistence (i.e. Spring 2023--92.6%; Spring 2024—94.1%).  Several tactics have been implemented to achieve these ends.

This project aims to equip students with the soft skills (super skills) needed to succeed in the workplace. Savannah State University (SSU) will implement trainings, activities, and programming to teach and reinforce soft skills development

Develop the faculty mentorship program. This program assists students with career exploration, selecting and aligning major electives with their career aspirations, participation with High Impact Practices such as: scholarships, internships, study abroad

EGSC is seeking to improve the rate at which students complete the English composition series and required math course within their first 30 hours of coursework. We understand that failure to complete these vital and foundational courses in the early portion of a student’s education journey can hinder the student by blocking courses that need the prerequisite and by limiting the number of choices a student has available to choose from during each successive registration period.
