Student Retention Alert Assessment Report
Erie Community College
January 2012
Submitted by Nathan Wallace and Michael Badzinski
Methods
Teaching faculty and Counseling staff participated in this qualitative and quantitative
assessment at Erie Community College (Buffalo, New York). A Likert Scale Survey instrument
was used for the quantitative portion of the study and consisted of two demographic questions,
thirteen subject questions and three open ended questions. The survey was administered through
zipsurvey.com, an online survey website. A total of 634 teaching faculty and 20 Counselors were
sent a link to the survey by email. One hundred and eighty-three members of the teaching faculty
responded and eight members of the counseling staff responded for a total of one-hundred and
ninety-one responses. The questions were formulated based on a review of literature and
discussions pursued during meetings between Nate Wallace and Michael Badzinski. The subject
questions were grouped as three categories (1) questions for teaching faculty (2) questions for
counseling staff, and (3) open ended questions for both teaching faculty and counseling staff.
The questions were numbered, listed under one another, and had a 5-point scale below each
question. Participants were asked to choose the response which was most applicable to them as
faculty and staff at Erie Community College.
A small focus group consisting of members of the counseling staff was also conducted
during a SRA Committee meeting to obtain verbal feedback from Counselors and to gain
information necessary to design a framework for the survey. Results of the focus groups will be
included in the discussion section of this report.

The following responses to open ended questions are color-coded by the type of response given:
Blue (38 responses) = Suggested changes to the SRA process and/or software
Bright Red (38 responses) = Respondent doesn’t know about SRA and/or requires additional SRA training
Orange (31 responses) = Suggested that more follow-up is needed to provide faculty with information regarding
outcomes of interventions and outcomes of the program in general
Black (28 responses) = Miscellaneous/Uncategorized
Brown (21 responses) = The SRA program is working well
Green (10 responses) = Suggested that faculty need to be more involved in the intervention process
Pink (9 responses) = Suggested that the program should expand its target cohort to include more students
Dark Red (8 responses) = Suggested that current method of communicating alert messages to students is insufficient
How can the SRA program do a better job of bringing students to the Counseling Center?
1. I don't believe a program will bring students in. A connection with people (counselors/mentors)will.
2. when there is better communication.... studeents must have confidence and clarity in the use of our technology/
email system....
3. Hard copy referral.
4.
Send mail to student's houses instead of e-mail. Have mentors monitor the system and contact student bi-
weekly if the student does not response. Have a hold placed on students who don't response to show the
importance of our correspondences.
5. I do not see any improvements in students from this program. It would be better to spend the money on more
fulltime faculty and tutors.
How can the SRA program have a greater impact on student success?
1. Anything that improves retention is a positive.
2. By notifying their advisor and having the advisor talk to the student.
3. Allow for more details to be entered
4. Allow department chairs to track all students in their programs in order to create opportunities for early
intervention.
5. Include all students
6. Maybe students at risk could be directed to talk to their teachers
7.
Teachers are only given a very small space to include comments to try and explain the situation. We can never
include the full story. Also, do the reports actually do anything? Where is the follow up? Their names get
entered into a system and then what? I've never had an counselor or adviser contact me for a follow up. I am
sure they have their hands full . . .
8. I would like a reminder on my email to enter SRA info about students work.
9. I don't really know what it is, beyond the once-a-semester notes I get from Athletics, if that is even part of it.
10. I am unfamiliar with the SRA Program.
11. I'm not sure the level of intervention that occurs between students and staff once faculty have input their
information.
12. I don't know if I have really ever used the SRA program. I answer queries from the athletic department but
have not received other requests.
13. It needs to ask for better assessment. Teachers should be giving more specific information to counselors
14. Inservice all faculty, including part time/adjunct faculty, in how to use it!!!!
15.
Some of the students that are I am emailed about are the ones that are doing great! I wish that we could report a
student to a counselor who is not doing well in a class or to a mentor. It seems that this program is only
reaching a small population of students.
16.
Increase the role of the academic advisor in the process of responding to student retention information, and
include the instructor who is the source of the retention information by updating him/her on student progress in
other classes.
17. I'm not familiar enough with the program and how it operates to make a suggestion.
18.
Provide a basic computer skills course (1) credit? for ALL students, data filing, naming of files, basic Word,
Excel and email course. For having computers since kindergarten these kids are clueless that computers are
tools and data is time is money.....
19.
1. Use student's preferred e-mail to send alerts, instead of ECC e-mail. 2. Make an effort to meet with any at
risk students who are in danger. 3. Make special classes in math and English, just for these students. Have them
take a studies skills/college success class together.
20. Have more categories that teachers can comment on, such as test/quiz scores.
21.
Let faculty know what is being done to retain at-risk students on a student-by-student basis. Also, it would be
helpful to have at-risk students identified the first week of the semester so that faculty can intervene more
quickly when problems such as absenteeism begin to occur.
22. Need more follow up and communication between counseling and academics
23. Allow faculty members to comment on students who are performing well in a class. Positive feedback and
reinforcement from a teacher may motivate the student to keep working hard in a course.
24. Meet more consistently and sooner.
25. by drawing the student to the SSSC's .... presently the link isn't connecting...
26. make it clear to students that they are a part of the program!
27. Student accountability. Are students required to "check-in" or report to a counselor for guidance? I have 3
students with additional issues not related to academics.
28. There should be more room for written comments. Are students contacted, counseled & warned when they
receive a negative report ?
29. By properly advising students that some programs are not for them. They do not have the motivation or ability
to accomplish the required course work.
30. Expand the use of student emails throughout all areas of the college so students are in the habit of using the
@ecc.edu address
31. I am unfamiliar with the program, and thus all of my answers are not from an informed position.
32. It would be helpful if a follow up report was sent to the instructors. I am left out of the process after submitting
my report and have no way of knowing what became of the information I submitted.
33. I am not sure what if any impact the SRA program is having on student retention. I have not seen any data that
tracks the change in retention rates.
34. Train faculty in use.
35.
More interaction or feedback amongst the counselor/mentor, faculty member, and student. Maybe I am missing
something, but I always wonder the outcome of the counselor/mentor contacting the students who are not
doing well.
36. Instructions on use are poor and contradictory.
37. form peer support groups connect students with tutors
38. no comment at this time
39. Communicate its availability and purpose.
40. have it be able to report more than once on a student
41. More communication
42.
By being realistic and not telling students they are college ready and capable when they clearly do not have the
wherewithal to do work that requires reading and writing above an 8th grade level. I am all for retention of
students who are willing to work and show up, but do not call many of them college students. They need basic
remediation.
43.
I am not familiar enough with the overall program to comment. I find the use of working with the software
confusing. Perhaps better instructions. I also have no idea what is done with the information. Are students
contacted? How?
44. I am not certain it can. There is a clear lack of motivation with many of our students as is suggested by a
student in the 11/21/11 student voice.
45. More follow-up and evaluations
46.
Have the system reviewed by the academic appeal committee and perhaps a form letter attached by the mentor
working that student's account stating that they have been working with the counseling center or mentor in
responding to the faculty concerns in a timely manner.
47.
I teach one class per semester. I don't know what SRA is. I don't think anything can help with student success
if the student can't be bothered to show their face in class. I think that students that don't show up to class
should be kicked out of school within 5 weeks of not showing up so they can open a slot for someone else who
can be bothered to show up. Not sure if this has anything to do with the question, but it is annoying to prepare
for class only to be teaching to a largely empty classroom.
48. Not familiar with it.
49. Include more students.
50. Be sure that Adjuncts are given the same information that full time faculty are given.
51. I do not know as I have not heard if the students are spoken to or helped at all.
52. I'm not sure how often counselors meet with students after the initial reporting, but follow-up would be helpful
53. Software should be more readily available to faculty
54. n/a
55. Expand the program to include all students
56. I have no idea what Student Retention Alert software is.
57. more faculty follow through-contact
58. Familiarize all new faculty with it!
59. expand to all students; the ones I identify as in difficulty are often not on the list
60. Recognize and provide services for non english speakers.
61. That depends not on the SRA, but on how it is followed up.
62. The student must make the decision to be successful
63. Since I haven't seen any positive results in terms of intervention on behalf of the at risk students I have
identified through the SRA program, it seems like a waste of time for me to continue participating.
64. I don't think it can.
65. No suggestions
66.
It may help if the SRA counselor has more contact with the instructor. I'm not saying that this should be done
on a daily basis, but it might help if the counselor knew when there was a test coming up...or if a student is
attending class.
67. Is there a way to see the results of the data we input? meaning, what happens after we recommend a student for
extra attention in the system?
68. Increase involvement of our faculty.
69. Use the information that we provide for something, it doesn't seem like it is used.
70. Have not used.
71. Inservice faculty about them & how to use them
72. Be able to submit feedback on student performance that is positive as well as negative.
73. I am not sure that all the students were contacted. i only received feedback on two students, out of about 14 on
my list.
74. No suggestions.
75. I think the program could be run on 2 week intervals. This would allow more feedback to the students in
question.
76. Orientation and programs on student success skills and student motivation. Motivation to learn is lacking in
younger students.
77. SRA program software needs to be made more user friendly, with drop down menus for BOTH satisfactory
and unsatisfactory performance.
78. Send it with 3 week roster timing wise
79. I'm not sure what it is.
80. I feel it shows the student that ECC is interested in the students on an individual basis.
81. follow through will advisement contact
82.
You need to add more space so I can write a progress note each time I report information. I need to tell you
what the issue is, it is not so cut and dry as the check off boxes indicate. These are students with multiple
issues that simple yes and no or check off box can never address. You need to add a box for behaviors, with a
link or some other type of a thing to write what the behaviors are and how they impact the entire class.
83. Make it more specific
84. one on one faculty intervention
85. I think you do the best you can already... it's not easy to empower people who have several serious issues going
on in their lives.
86. It alerts the students and faculty to the fact that the student requires assistance or encouragement.
87. The student has the greatest impact on their success. No matter how many bells and whistles we provide, the
student ultimately must be the one to improve.
88. Expand the area that is used to input performance comments.
89. More focus on attendance which seems to be getting worse.
90. more space for comments
Overall, what do you think of the SRA program (comments, suggestions, etc.)?
1. Undecided.
2.
It's a pain --hard to use and understand, not allowed to enter comments-I don't see any follow up. I don't see it
doing any good. If all we are doing is sending students an e-mail that they are in trouble, it is not worth the
effort.
3. It is a great idea; I don't know how much of an impact it has though
4. Great job so far. Give me access, please! I'm quite happy to help with any committee work or grunt work.
5. Great
6.
This sort of system is needed for community college students. However, I don't really see the impact that the
current system has. I can't really say that I have ever seen a student turn their situation around after I fill out a
retention report. I don't know if there is a way to improve it, maybe most of the students who disappear are
beyond institutional help.
7. good, but I think it may be more effective if student reporting is a bit more specific and directed by particular
input, I think it could be a good assessment tool for retention and direct communication for student/instructor
8.
I'd say it must be ineffective if I don't know about it. I’m just adjunct, but have taught four classes every
semester plus teaching summers for four semesters now. I try to go above and beyond with my students,
including calling them when they are absent more than a week. So I would take advantage of this program if I
knew about it.
9. More awareness of the program and deadlines for completion would be helpful. Faculty are busy during
semester and often have best intentions, but miss deadline dates.
10. I am unfamiliar with the SRA Program.
11. It seems to help somewhat
12. It is ok.
13. I have had limited success through the SRA program; though I have had the occasional student return to class
as a result of my use of it, more often than not, by the time I file the retention report it's already too late.
14.
I think it is an effort in the right direction however when we are talking about students - particularly students
who are at risk - there is no substitution for contact/ a connection with a person willing to listen and assist
(counselors and mentors).
15. It is a good start, but does not go far enough.
16. It gives the students good feedback.
17. Would work if we used it properly and there needs to be better communication. We cannot just email a student.
Calling students should be mandatory. And communication with faculty should be ongoing.
18. I think SRA is a good way to keep students on track and try to reduce the number of students who "slip through
the cracks".
19. I haven't been able to discern the success of any student directly from providing SRA information.
20. I am disappointed with the system...
21. Have not received information regarding this.
22. It's a good idea for those in need
23. I am not familiar with SRA software.
24. Keeps students attuned to their progress or lack of.
25.
I feel Instructors should deal with subject matter and its presentation. Carrying a full load of contact hours, I do
not feel I should need to deal with the social, economic, and psychological aspect of the student. At some point,
the student needs to move on and assume responsibility for their future.
26. Provide more room for comments. Include more students.
27. When you have an open door policy, you have to take everyone yet some students do not belong in college
because they are either not ready to be there and just don't know what they want.
28. Publicize the overall effectiveness and assessment data of the program. Faculty will be more willing to
participate when they realize the impact of it. If the assessment shows poor data change the use of the program.
29. I have not seen any results from the program. See above.
30.
It is my impression that our student dropout rate is still fairly high if that in fact is true it would indicate that our
student retention program is still a work in progress but again I would be interested in seeing data on student
retention and/or student dropout rates.
31. I had not really used it and would love to see more info.
32.
I do not know what happens once I put information in. I hope that someone is contacting these students and
encouraging them to do better by reading the book, attending class, getting work done early, asking questions....
I think all students with a D or less need help and should be included.
33. It is good. Would like a longer comment box and the ability to return and edit a response. Would like to see
student names before being committed to a response.
34. Does not appear to have much impact, students fail or pass independently, it seems.
35. no opinion. It is not a visible program.
36. aware of SRA but have not used at this time to comment
37.
It's very easy to do and I do it regularly - but once I do one student, I cannot input on that student again which is
nuts - it should allow you to indicate that other issues have come up or that the first ones mentioned have
resolved.
38. It is an effort to help students and that, especially for our student body, is a very positive step.
39. None
40. Programs come and go but until a student really is motivated internally we will continue to search for
interventions.
41. I think this is a good program and should include all students.
42.
The problem I see with it is that I don't have enough data (other than perhaps attendance) to catch students
"early enough." In composition classes, it's not unusual for the first full-blown paper to be 4-5 weeks into the
semester, the earlier part taken up by work building to more complex assignments. Really, the first three weeks
are taken up with preliminaries, getting the class settled in, making sure they have the textbook, drop/add,
learning their names...after three weeks, when you ask about a student, I have to reference my documentation.
After 6, I could probably write a narrative off the top of my head!
43.
The system should have an area directly responsible for working with the system and the students. ( A Student
Retention Office)- then we wouldn't have to focus on getting them in as much as keeping them. (The system
will work when we start to use the system, but we have not put forth the effort to use this system).
44.
I have no opinion because I don't know what it is. I still am of the view that if students don't show up, they
cannot be helped. Does SRA go to their homes (or under the bridge which will be their home soon) to talk to
them and help them at home? It’s clear that many troubled students have never been on campus.
45. Not familiar with it.
46.
I don't think it makes any difference. Many at-risk students aren't prepared for college to begin with, and
shouldn't even be here. I can't help them because they don't have life skills. If I report in the third week that a
student doesn't have a text, and he still doesn't have one by week eight, what difference has my report made?
Many are admitted at the last minute and don't have the materials they need, mainly texts, to participate in class
because it takes a good amount of time for the receipt of student aid. Such a situation is unfair for students who
are going to have problems to begin with. They come to class without books and frequently ask if they can
borrow a pen from me. They need much more guidance than they are getting or that the college can afford.
Their needs are more for the development of life skills than developmental skills. These things are all related.
They can't even get to class on time. They are not ready to learn.
47.
Is the SRA program the same as the retention input class roster on webadvisor???? If it isn't please disregard
my survey, I have no idea what the SRA program is. If the SRA program is the retention input class roster on
webadvisor it needs to have more choices offered to explain student difficulties.
48. I do not know enough about the program to comment.
49. I would like to report how a student is doing if they are doing well instead of saying nothing. I would think that
would be important to know for these at risk students.
50. If the student is at risk you must select one of the three options and sometimes none of those fit the situation.
You could clarify it with comments, but you are not allowed to go there until you select 1,2, or 3.
51. I am familiar with it but cannot access, or don't know how to access the software
52. n/a
53. It's a useful tool that enables faculty to better serve students
54. I have no idea. What does it do? How does it work? Is it something instructors should be using?
55. valuable and helpful
56. Helpful. It encouraged students with poor attendance to increase class participation
57. I would allow further developments to be reported for students that have already been flagged previously.
58.
Positives: 1. real time responses. Negatives: 1. creates a 'middle man' between faculty and counselor. 2.
Software is not user friendly. 3. It allows faculty to avoid direct student contact. 4. reported problems are not
prioritized.
59. Very successful at this point.
60. I don't know how the system works,
61. Great idea, but I don't think we have adequate counseling support to provide the necessary assistance with the
problems the SRA identifies.
62. Not impressed
63.
In theory, it seems like it should be a good program and an effective tool for getting students back on track
before it's too late; however, I have seen no evidence of this in my classes. At best, the students for whom I've
submitted information to the SRA stay in class until the end of the semester (usually with excessive absences).
Unfortunately, they don't do homework, and based on their test scores they don't study, resulting in failure of
the course anyway.
64. No suggestions
65.
To my knowledge, the only interaction between the instructor and the counselor is a 'comments' area that is
filled out by the instructor twice per semester. The space to type in the comments area is very limited, and
doesn't allow enough room to provide adequate feedback. At a minimum, I think there should be more room for
comments. In addition, I think there should be some type of weekly or monthly correspondence between the
counselor and the instructor.
66.
More basic information needs to be presented to faculty in regards to what, exactly the SRA program is all
about. students who are enrolled in the program need a better system in regards to support - not sure what - but
if they are falling behind and the instructor is not aware that they are in any particular program then they will
slide through the cracks. It is frustrating to find out after the fact that a student was part of some sort of a special
program. Instructors have many students to take into consideration as well as the curriculum - over-seeing and
keeping on tabs of students in special programs is an added responsibility that usually gets over-looked. It's as if
these students need a buddy who is in the class with them and helps them stay on the straight and narrow
instead of the instructors. Thank you for providing this survey.
67. I need some training about the program. I am not too familiar with the program.
68. Could be good.
69. As a part-time faculty member, I am not familiar with the SRA program.
70. ??? What is it?
71. I think it is a great idea, but I wonder if we have the staff to actually follow through with each student?
72. It is useful.
73.
I think the program works as long as the Students get feedback from it. I do however, have a problem with the
phrasing in Question 6 of this evaluation. As a former Student-Athlete here and now a member of the Faculty, I
do not like the listing of all Student-Athletes as developmental students.
74. Good but I need to learn more about it.
75. I don't have any way to measure it's success
76. See response above.
77. a needed program among several steps to take
78.
I would like feedback. The reason I put strongly disagree for the question related to is SRA impacting student
retention is because I never receive any feedback as to whether the student was. Was not a success or if the
counselors are even addressing the issues at hand. You should include faculty in the 1:1 counseling session-if
determine an issue is occurring with the student. YOU need to let us tell you what we have done to address the
issue. We need to collaborate in person or via email/phone!
79. Often feedback is requested before I've done much assessment and online forms are vague and unclear.
80. never knew it existed
81.
Although I've never had to use it, I've read studies about student retention.... the one thing that stuck in my mind
is the responses from the students in the study that said they tended to stay in school if someone actually
appeared to care if they were there... so in my opinion, anything you do to let students know they're not just "a
number" is excellent... keep up the good work.
82. I don't know much about it
83. Need to know more.
84. I've used it, and, often times, it is successful. There were only a few cases where the student simply did not
follow through with counseling or recommendations from staff members at ECC.
85. It's the student's responsibility to take ownership of their college education. I'm not sure if it helps as I've never
had a student comment that they appreciated all of the additional help they're receiving from ECC.
86. No comment.
87.
would prefer to have blank space and be able to fill my own reply in as opposed to "blanket" responses and
limited character comments. Many times the situation with he student is more complicated than the survey
allows

Notes from SRA Committee Meeting (Focus Group with Counseling Staff)
October 18, 2011
1-2 p.m.
City Campus (Room 162)
There is an issue with clarifying the type of feedback for evaluating student performance.
- Current Types of Problems: Attendance, work submission, unsatisfactory work quality,
personal reasons
o Students are not aware of the issue
o Issues should be more specific
- Positive versus negative feedback
o Positive feedback should not be included at all
o More clear instructions are needed for faculty.
o Sending too many reports. If student is deficient in all four areas (attendance, class
work quality, class work submission and personal) they will get four emails
- Need to get students to respond
o Students are not checking their ECC email
o In general students respond more to paper mail
o Counselors are not getting responses to emails.
o Text Alert is something to look into
The letter that students receive could be more urgent and more directive in nature.
- Making a conditioned letter
o Negative conditions for not responding (Cap on registration)
o The wording of the letter could reflect a more assertive standpoint
o Deadline dates in the letter
Counselors are comfortable with the using the software, but changes can be made to improve case
management.
Including:
- Spell check (Not possible through Datatel)
- Sorting options for the case list (alphabetized)
- Immediacy option for faculty
o All cases are equal now
o Option for faculty to display timetable for intervention; with a shorter timetable for
more pressing issues (student isn’t showing up to class)
- Case Management
o Implement a tracking chart to allow more focused case management
o A greater focus is needed when looking at priority of the problem and nature of the
problem
o Individual follow up letters from the counselors would provide a personalized letter
to the student showing a connection
o Priority management
all students come in as a high priority and only counselors can change it
If faculty could change priority based on changes in student performance,
counselors could better track students
- Targeting a more specific group
o How to define at risk?
o Should the target group be expanded or made retracted?
- Faculty could be assigned a counselor that they work closely with o Counselors could be available to talk with faculty and assist them with using the SRA
software in a more productive and efficient manner
o A connection could be made for following up and more collaboration in general.
In general, the results are not tangible. Students are not responding to the emails and are not making the
connection with the counseling staff. Most students do not check their ECC email, therefore missing the
opportunity that is presented by the SRA program.
The most pressing issue is reaching the student. How can we better reach the student?
