ACTION PLAN - University of Ulster

Detailed Explanation of College and Academic Requirements and Regulations:
What are we doing?
CASS provides students with this information in a variety of ways. Our first contact with
new students begins either at PREP and POP for incoming undeclared students or during
the intake for student changing to undeclared. College and Academic Requirements and
Regulations are cover these topics discussed during the initial meeting and as need in
subsequent meetings. The one-on-one time spent by CASS counselors with its students is
the primary way of presenting this information. Another interactive way we inform
students of this information is in FRYS 101, this provides students an open forum to ask
questions.
Current Research/Information:.
Once again this seems to be a nationwide trend to provide students with the most
information in a student friendly way.
http://www.google.com/u/duke?q=student+handbook&sitesearch=duke.edu Duke
university allows the student to access the information by way of a search engine on their
web site.
http://aaweb.lsu.edu/catalogs/2001/ LSU places their catalog online for students.
http://www.wsu.edu/future-students/admission/admission.html Washington State
provides this information in a very student friendly way.
What can we do?
Better use of our web space through design and information would be a start along with
semester meetings with students to provide vital information and dates/events.
Intensified Peer Tutoring:
Peer tutors act as a support for professors, providing extra review and practice for course
material that students have been taught.
What are we doing?
CASS has partnered with the SGA to provide one -on-one peer tutoring for math courses
091,093, 111,112, 116, & 131 in the LRC and English in the CASS Writing Center. We
also offer computer aided tutoring, Homework Express, and a new ALEKS lab. These
services are provided free of charge. The tutor salaries are funded by the Title III Grant
and funds appropriated by the SGA.
