Abstract:
|
How can academic advising transform first-year course registration from a stressful experience into one that empowers students? Over the past decade, our institution saw a 10% drop in student satisfaction with first-semester schedules, alongside rising late-summer schedule changes. To reverse this trend, we reimagined our advising approach, prioritizing individualized guidance and student choice. By leveraging campus partnerships, providing one-on-one advising during orientation, and offering multiple opportunities for students to refine their schedules, we achieved an 18% increase in satisfaction. This session will explore how shifting from traditional registration models to a student-centered, data-informed approach can better meet the needs of today's students, particularly those from diverse academic backgrounds. Join us to discuss how you can implement similar strategies to enhance advising outcomes on your campus. |
