Helping Students on Academic Probation to Persist and Succeed - NACADA Confer...Robert M. Kurland, Ph.D.
Helping Students on Academic Probation to Persist and Succeed. Research has repeatedly shown that students who end up on probation are less likely to be retained and graduate as compared to students who remain in good academic standing. Colleges and universities must offer more effective support services and interventions to help these students succeed and persist towards graduation. Probation does not have to be the end of an academic career. This presentation will discuss the evolution of support services that have been offered to students at the Rutgers – Newark College of Arts and Sciences/University College, with a particular focus on current interventions which include a 1-credit online course that will be required for all probation students to enroll. We will discuss the theory, implementation, and components of the course.
The Student Success Plan is a Open Source software system and supported processes for student success, designed to increase the persistence, success, and graduation rates of targeted students. This presentation by Russ Little offers an overview of the system and how it works for faculty, advisors, and students.
The NCSEHE hosted a webinar on 15 April 2021, presenting new research led by Dr Bret Stephenson (CHEEDR at La Trobe University) on “ghost student” failure in higher education.

For the latest free CDE seminar we were very pleased to welcome Jon Bellum, Provost and Senior Vice-President at Colorado State University-Global Campus, to Senate House to talk about a case study for retention in online learning.
Colorado State University-Global Campus is a 100% online public institution focused on providing adults with career-relevant bachelor’s and master’s degrees. A university wide retention and persistence program was designed to provide its non-traditional students with the support they needed throughout the student lifecycle. Since implementing this process improvement, CSU-Global has been able to maintain first-to-third term retention rates that exceed 80% and a four-year retention/graduation rate that exceeds 75%.
The presentation ran through the processes involved in implementing this programme and reviewed the outcomes.
The slides and seminar is of interest to anyone involved in developing courses for online or flexible delivery – audio for the session can be found at www.cde.london.ac.uk.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

that you could tap into?
2. Who are the “at-risk” students on your campus? How do/could you
identify them? How could you make contact with them? What type of
intervention is necessary?
3. How could you make use of peers in reaching out and intervening with
at-risk students?
