12. CorequisiteRemediation Provide academic support as a Corequisite not as a prerequisite

13. The Corequisite Strategy More time on task and help for students when they need it (just in time).

14. Corequisite Options • 45 minutes after class • An additional class period or two • Required lab with mentors • 5 weeks dev ed, 10 weeks regular course (5 days/wk)

15. One Semester Corequisite Results

16. Ivy Tech Community College • Before: 25% of remedial English students completed the college levelEnglish course in three semesters. • Now: over 50% complete in one semester. • Before: 9% of math remedial students completed the college level math course in three semesters. • Now: over 50% complete in one semester.

23. GAME CHANGER Time & Intensity

24. A NATIONAL PROBLEMVery Few Graduate on Time … On-Time Graduation Rates(Full-time students) 4-year Bachelor’s (Non-Flagship) 2-year Associate 5.0% 18.1%

25. Time and Intensity The longer it takes…the more life gets in the way.

26. The Power of 15 Credits: More students graduate when they complete 30+ credits in their first year.

27. The Power of 15 Credits: More students graduate when they complete 30+ credits in their first year.

28. Most students DON’T take the credit hours necessary to graduate on time. Full-time Students Taking 15+ Credits Per Semester

29. IUPUI 15 to Finish 15 or > credit hours attempted- First time Full time

31. Graduating on time is a myth in American higher education. 2-Year Institutions 3.6 years 4-Year Institutions (Non-Flagship) 4-Year Institutions (Flagship) 4.9 years 4.4 years

32. Too Many Credits 2-year Associate 4-yearBachelor’s(Non-Flagship) 136.2credits accumulated 78.8credits accumulated 60credits standard 120credits standard Does NOT count remediation

33. NO CLEAR PATH

34. Too Many Choices and Too Little Guidance Why GPS? • Most colleges have more than 100 majors and hundreds of courses. • Most students are unaware of their career options. • 45% of students haven’t seen a counselor by the third week of class.

35. 1 counselor : 400 students Why GPS?

36. Behavioral Economics: Choice Why GPS? Too much choice — especially uninformed choice — leads to poor decisions.

37. Behavioral Economics: Default Why GPS? People accept — even welcome — a default choicedesigned by informed professionals.

38. New Model – Structured Programs Nursing Engineering Honors Choice Architecture An academic semester-by-semester plan: a clear path to graduation.

39. GPS: Essential Components DO THIS • Default Pathways • Choosing Majors • Meta-Majors • Academic Maps • Critical Path Courses • Intrusive Advising

40. The Default Path Behavioral Economics Students don’t “discover” the right path; after choosing a major, the academic map is the default schedule.

41. Meta Majors STEM HUMANITIES HEALTH SCIENCES BUSINESS SOCIAL SCIENCES ARTS EDUCATION

42. Meta-Major to Majors • Help students make the big choices (a meta major/major). • Once in a meta-major, help students narrow their study to a major. • A semester-by-semester academic map is the sequential, prescriptive schedule of classes for the meta-major and the major.

43. ACADEMIC MAPS: 4 essential components – the narrative, sample schedule, milestones and employment opportunities The narrative explains the use of academic maps and any specific information about degree requirements, including admissions requirements The sample schedule outlines which courses should be taken in which specific term in order to satisfy all requirements The milestones identify critical courses for timely progress and the last semester in which they can be completed for on-time graduation. Critical grades for Milestone courses may be included. List of Representative Job Titles and Potential Employers

44. Critical Path Courses • Prerequisite courses are designated for each semester. • Taken in the recommended sequence. • The college guarantees the critical path courses are available.

45. Intrusive Advising • Students must see their advisors before registering for classes if: • they do not complete the critical path course on schedule • they fall 2 or more courses behind on their academic map • they have a 2.0 GPA or less for the semester

46. Georgia State University GPS SUCCESS • Degree maps and intrusive advising • Graduation rates up 20 percentage points in past 10 years • Graduation rates higher for: • Pell students, at 52.5% • African American students, at 57.4% • Hispanic students students, at 66.4% • More bachelor’s degrees to African-Americans than any other U.S. university

47. Florida State University GPS SUCCESS • Since starting degree maps, FSU has cut the number of students graduating with excess credits in half • Graduation rate increased to 74% • African Americans to 77% • First-generation Pell students to 72% • Hispanic students to more than 70%
