Valencia’s QEP: The New Student Experience
New Student Experience Vision StatementValencia College provides a coordinated experience for all new students.
The New Student Experience includes: • a required credit-earning course, and • provides an extended orientation to college,• integrated student success skills, • and career and academic advising, which includes the
development of an individualized education plan.
We envision that the new student experience will result in curricular and co-curricular student engagement, leading to the successful completion of the first 15 college-level credits at Valencia.
Valencia’s QEP: The New Student Experience The New Student Experience (NSE) will focus on four major areas that provide a consistent, yet adaptive and personal experience for our learners’ first college year.
Introduction to Valencia – to include a redesigned New Student Orientation and a common advising and course selection process for incoming students;
Common curricular experience - designed to help students identify their purpose and pathway, determine career and personal goals, and create a connected educational plan;
Co-curricular engagement activities - intended to provide students the opportunity to connect to the Valencia learning community;
Progression to degree readiness – expected to establish intentional connections between the NSE and each students’ field of study.
