支持学生成功

支持学生成功

每年, about one-third of 密歇根州立大学丹佛’s undergraduate students are not retained to the following year. This amounts to approximately 5,000 students in every fall-to-fall span. For students, this means they have either dropped out or transfered, and not continued at 密歇根州立大学丹佛. For our university, this means we have not retained these students.

的 impact of students not retaining are deeply personal and also have a significant impact on the lives of 教师 and everyone who works for 密歇根州立大学丹佛. While there are many efforts to address this issue made at the university level, 教师 play an important role in supporting persistence to graduation. As we connect with our students on a regular basis, we have the opportunity to see each of their strengths and challenges, and tend to know more about their particular life circumstances and their hopes and dreams. 的se are perspectives that university efforts don’t always have.

This page includes several resources to assist with 教师 with supporting student success and retention.

学生成功作业

学生成功作业 are incorporated into general studies courses as credit-bearing elements of existing curricular structure. 的 assignments require students to engage on campus and allow 教师 to directly connect students to the support services they need, 实时地. A successful pilot of this program has been in place since 2020 and has demonstrated positive impact on fall-to-fall retention.

学生成功作业 are housed in a Canvas module that 教师 can import directly into their courses. 的 assignments complement discipline-based academic content and represent the marriage of best practices in collaborative work between academic and student affairs.

的 学生成功作业 are one element of a broad strategy to increase first-year success at 密歇根州立大学丹佛.
