CSU in 1991
“We’re an open-access school, with mostly low-income, high-risk, poorly-prepared students. Of course, many of them don’t succeed.”

“We’re doing better. What can we do to improve our completion rates even more?”

What Did We Do?
![Page 38: Accelerating Student Success: Focusing on Meaningful, Measurable Change - ACE Presentation - Hobsons 2016](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081604/587f482b1a28ab43318b6b03/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What did we do?
We got organized We invested We used data
• Created Student Success Committee (Faculty Senate)
• Made Division of Academic Programs responsible for student success efforts (Hired a director of student success programs in that office)
• Created dedicated freshman advising staff and transfer advising office to work with new students
• Starfish Early Alert
• We identified high DFW/high enrollment courses
• Made them a target for SI/SLA• Made them Target for Teaching
Enhancement grants for innovation

Student-Centric Problem Solving…
I’ll just drop this course and worry about the impact
later! The course was full or not available!
I can’t ever get time with my
advisor!
I took classes I didn’t need!
I changed my major – now
major problems!
Finish?No idea!
