Peer and Supplemental Instruction

We continue to implement ways to help support students both in and out of the classroom to be successful and improve retention.

Offer peer tutoring for students enrolled in common/core courses (i.e. Math, Science and Humanities).

Peer Mentor Program: students (mentees) meet 1:1, weekly, with upperclassmen (Mentors) through this student success program. Additionally, students are invited to attend program-facilitated events related to program pillars (self-efficacy; academic success; cultural competence).

The goal is implement messaging, events and workshops to get students thinking about their career from the moment they begin at GHC, and for them to start building towards that career goal through the courses they choose and personal and professional development

The First Year Experience is one of three embedded experiences that is built into the GC curriculum. To “Complete your journey,” for First Year Experience, students need to complete their GCSU 0001 (FYAS) and GC1Y courses.

The Learning Communities (LCs) activity provides first-year learning communities where two or more courses are linked thematically with collaborative instruction. The primary approach of the Learning Communities is to organize and leverage student success activities and campus resources while supporting and aligning to the mission of University College and our strategic plan, The Standard. Courses within a first-year learning community will develop co-curricular activities and focus on core areas as well as areas of academic performance, retention, student mindset, and degree progression.
