ACTION PLAN GOAL 2: Increase retention of first–time, Fall 2003 students by six percentage points. KEY STRATEGY B: Research options to increase web-base services for early-alert programs, referrals, resignation, drops/adds curriculum changes, etc. and eliminate cumbersome, paper-based processes. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE/TIMETABLE Steps Responsibility Target Date / Research and decided to buy or not - EMAS Retention Pro (or similar software package) into the advising process on ULM campus. If purchase EMAS - Train ULM Advisors to utilize features of Retention Pro – At least monthly monitoring of at risk students by Registrar or other appointed individuals/groups Adjust Retention Pro regularly to correspond to those factors that are directly related to retention at ULM. Make Retention Pro features available to essential (lower level) instructors in order that they might be able to add additional information for at risk students Coordinator: Dr. Bruno Retention Committee Contact:: Dr. Jay Bulot Cabinet, James Robertson / CASS Retention Committee/CASS- University Administration? Retention Committee/CASS- University Administration? Registrar (or other entity responsible for administration of EMAS) Completion Date Budget/Reallocation Plan: EMAS or a similar software program may need to be purchased by the ULM administration as part of the recruitment/retention plan. EMAS appears to be the software which is preferred. Education Systems, Inc. has submitted a proposal to provide EMAS Pro Suite (EMAS Recruitment Pro, Student Web-inquiry, EMAS Retention Pro, EMAS Financial Aid, and EMAS Loyalty Pro prospects alumni web-portal) for approximately $87, 070. This includes License, Implementation Support, & Training. Evaluation/Control: Successful use of Retention Pro will be identified by the number of students not only identified as being at risk, but also the number of student interventions which have been instituted. It will also be useful in identifying which student advisors are more successful than others, based on withdrawal rates.
ACTION PLAN GOAL 2: Increase retention of first–time, Fall 2003 students by six percentage points. KEY STRATEGY C: Develop strategies that will encourage formal and informal contact between faculty/staff and students. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE/TIMETABLE Steps Responsibility Target Date / Use Pharmacy’s “Spirit Day” event on Fridays before home football games as an example to expand to a University-Wide “Spirit Day on the Bayou” before home football games; can then expand to special monthly events with registrations for drawing for tickets or Grove specials, etc.; should include spirit groups. Better utilize Blackboard as a tool for faculty/student interactions (i.e. expand to include faculty and student “chat discussions). Expand popularity of Nexus programs with alternative times and days to encourage as much inclusiveness as possible. Broaden participation of faculty and staff as advisors for student organizations by enhancing ways to acknowledge and/or reward them for their involvement (Ideal results would be they will better promote the organizations and student involvement in them). Coordinator: Dr. Hood Retention Committee Contact:: Anne Lockhart Pres. Cofer appoints a Special Events Committee of faculty, staff, and students. Teaching Learning Resource Center Budget/Reallocation Plan: Spirit Day on the Bayou – with attendance of 600 the estimated cost is $3,000 All other steps require time but no dollars. Completion Date June 15, 2003 Incorporate in the Fall Program Schedule Dr. Joe McGahan Incorporate in the Fall Program Schedule Student Affairs Fall 2003
