GUIDED PATHWAYS SUMMER TASKFORCE

• Students often lose their way with course and program selection when they are provided with too many options.

• Students need clear pathways and efficient progression to degree attainment or they fail will not finish.

WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?

WHAT DOES OUR DATA SAY?

• Many successful students take excessive credits before completing their degrees.

• Too many students leave UW-Superior before earning their degrees.• We have more university studies course options than students need.• We have more minors than students want or need.

WHAT DOES OUR DATA SAY?

• Our current transfer policies/practices often provide barriers to student success.

• Our scheduling practices often provide barriers to student success.• Our 2-year rotation of courses and 4-year plans do not provide clear

pathways to success.

FIVE GOALS TO ACHIEVE STUDENT SUCCESS

1.

As identified by the Summer Taskforce

Review average credits to degree by major to determine needed changes.


2.


Review list of university studies and elective courses to identify ways to streamline curricular offerings.


3.


Review all minors and concentrations to determine which should be converted to online or eliminated from the program array.


4.


Determine and set a 2-year schedule of course offerings for all majors and minors.


5.


Review transfer policies/practices to recommend needed changes.

GOOD NEWS!

• The Provost’s Taskforce on Guided Pathways for Student Success identified 27 actionable items that can be implemented during the 2017-18 fiscal year.

• Stay tuned for the report!
