At-Risk students at Bay de Noc
community College received a number of services to bolster their opportunity
for success during the 2005-6 year. As part of the enrollment process they
were tested for appropriate placement in math and English classes. Those
requiring remedial writing received their instruction in smaller-than-normal
classes, so they could receive more individual assistance in their writing
development.
Students who needed additional assistance and guidance in their studies
utilized peer tutors, the MOIS career guidance services, reading testing,
counseling, and career testing/guidance services. These services were
provided on both the Escanaba and Iron Mountain campuses and were highly
successful.

At-Risk students at Gogebic are first
identified through the admissions process, direct staff contacts,
self-identification at orientation, and through faculty referral.
Supplemental intensive advising services are then provided, along with
development of academic and career goals, and arrangements for specialized
service opportunities including tutoring and accomodations for special
learning needs. As the year progresses, faculty continue to make referrals
and students are asked to meet with staff for identification/review of
barriers to success, academic and/or counseling support, reassessment of
course load, reestablishment of short and long term academic and career
goals. At-Risk funding also provides individual and group peer tutoring in
most subject areas on campus.

academic advisors identified at risk students and set up a support system to
help them succeed. Academic advisors reviewed COMPASS, ASSET and ACT
placement test scores in English, reading, and math with students during the
intake interview. Sometimes academic advisors needed to advise students to
commit a semester to academic skills building in the KCC developmental
program before beginning college-level work or to take a combination of
developmental courses along with college-level courses. The academic advisors
referred many at risk students and students with disabilities to the Special
Populations program, the Student Support Services program, or the Tutoring

At Mid Michigan Community College, our
primary ambition is to prepare remedial students for college. Changes in both
the English and Math areas include the English 056 and 057 collaborative
groups and English 101 and 110 have added reading components that will
support student’s needs. Hybrid positions are hired that focus on remedial
classes and ASC remedial work. Our Math Lab classes moved to a more student
friendly format. Not only are students given the choice to take Math 101 and
104 in an open lab setting, but they now have the opportunity to take these
classes in two components with collaborative groups of 8 to 10 students. This
new format has been so successful that we continually add more sections each
semester. Because of the lack of basic skill levels in several areas, the ASC
offers several drop-in tutorial services: Math, Computer Sciences, Biology,
and Accounting. We have ...

The primary initiative for this year
was to address the increasing underpreparedness of entering students. The
funding provided additional personnel: 1)to create greater awareness of the
academic assistance services available and 2)to focus primary assistance on
increasing organizational, study and testing skills in addition to addressing
the content deficiencies.
In addition to this initiative, the majority of the At-Risk funding was used
to support the tutoring, supplemental instruction and First Steps program, as
well as the counseling/disability services.

Due to a series of local manufacturing
layoffs in the past year, MCC has experienced a significant enrollment
increase as displaced workers return to school for re-training. The vast
majority of these displaced workers enter as At-risk students in need of both
developmental classes and extensive tutoring. To meet this need, nearly all
At-Risk dollars were used to pay for tutors and adjunct instructors in the
developmental program, while the college general fund paid for most testing
supplies. Although the number of At-risk students increased last year, we
were able to maintain fairly normal completion rates by offering more
face-to-face course sections and adding personnel in the Developmental Lab.

Faculty have taken the college’s
five-credit, five-contact hour developmental math course and have separated
it into five one-credit, one contact hours modules. Using this concept, a
team of faculty and staff have worked together to develop a set of Math
Module offerings that allow students who may not achieve competency in a
module to repeat that module up to two times without penalty to their
financial aid. The success rate of students taking all five modules has
increased dramatically in the three years that the project has been piloted.
Two faculty teaching a total of 24 sections, provide 64 contact hours of
increasingly individualized instruction to students as they progress through
the modules.

After a review of assessment scores and
cut-offs, there will be adjustments to the cut-off scores in mathematics. In
addition, ESL cut scores have been revised and the sequence has changed from
3 to 4 levels. The addition of a full-time ESL coordinator/instructor has led
to increased collaboration with Academic Support Advisors and the Testing
Center. This has led to more consistent student placement and better
monitoring of proper course sequencing. Reading cut scores and ACT cut scores
have been revised to align with the ACT recentering and current
recommendations.
The college has been reviewing courses for which College Reading is a
prerequisite resulting in more students taking read in the first or second
semester as is appropriate.

To help strengthen the existing
academic support activities for the at-risk program at WCCCD, an open door
institute, several initiatives were added: peer mentoring, group tutorials
and specialized student support workshops.
Through the peer mentoring program, at-risk students are paired with “more
experienced” WCCCD students to help them both academically and socially
achieve academic success throughout the semester. Students become more aware
of the campus, it’s resources and support services offered as well as the
college’s culture and communities.
To help maximize the student’s learning opportunities, group tutorial
sessions have been added. Here students learn not only from their instructors

College Writing (ICS), Introduction to College Reading (ICR), College
Learning Strategies (CLS), and Pre Algebra (PA) classes. The CLS class
emphasizes study skills, test taking techniques, time management skills, and
goal setting. All full-time students, who fall below the ASSET test minimums in
English and reading, must take the ICW and ICR courses during their first
semester at WSCC. Besides one-on-one counseling, the At-Risk counselor
conducts classroom visits in each section of the above classes during the
