Student Support Review
Student success in the core depends in part on the resources available to assist students on their academic journey. Because core courses are foundational, many students in core courses are still developing the academic skills they need to succeed. Because core courses are general, many of them will be outside of students’ intended major and comfort zone. Many students need help outside the classroom to succeed inside the classroom, whether that classroom is in person or online.
Principle: Student services should be intentionally designed to contribute to student success in the core. This includes academic support, advising, and co-curricular activities. These services must be tailored to the needs of the wide diversity of students we serve.
Academic Support
FSU has many academic support resources.
How can instructors better incorporate academic support into their core classes? How can academic support centers better adapt their services to help instructors and students benefit? How can both instructors and university services ensure that the students who need academic support in core courses get that support?
Advising
Student success depends in part on ensuring that students take the core courses they need in a way that ensures timely degree completion. Advising plays an important role in helping students construct an academic plan that optimizes degree completion.
Co-Curriculum
Student success in the core depends in part on helping students see the relevance of core learning outcomes to their activities outside the classroom: clubs and organizations, residence life, campus events, etc. How can co-curricular activities support student success in the core?
Other Services
Student success in the core depends on other services: financial aid, registration, admission, etc.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
If there is one thing that characterizes the FSU student body, it is diversity by race, by admit type, by age, by military affiliation, etc. Success in the core depends on recognizing and supporting the diversity of our students.
