"The Dashboard helped me discover that students who received a non-passing grade in more than one course were significantly more likely to drop out. Knowing this, I set up an early warning system to identify students who were struggling in their courses at the beginning of the semester and connect them to advising resources. This helped to increase the pass rates for current students by 32 percent."
“The dashboard gives you the ability to go beyond the rhetoric and elevator speech - to drill down and put your finger on the pulse of what’s happening. Then you can get together with folks and design actions that move that needle in the direction we want to go. This dashboard has the potential to change minds, change practices, and deliver quality results to our students.”
“ Using the Student Success Dashboard, I found that none of the transfer students in our major graduated within two years. This led me to implement small-group learning and supplemental instruction interventions. As a result, the grade gap in my course has narrowed by 0.3 grade points.”
“The dashboard showed that receiving two or more non-passing grades in the first two years was the biggest predictor of students dropping out. This helped me focus my interventions, like asking: how many of these students are accessing advising services? It turns out this provides us really robust differences on retention. Retention rates for students who receive a non-passing grade and then see an advisor are 15 - 20 percentage points higher than those who do not access advising services.”
“ Using the Student Success Dashboard, I found that 32 percent of majors were leaving the department within four years and that nine percent of students weren’t passing the department introductory course. I Implemented a redesign of the course to provide a more inclusive introduction to the department. ”
