Caseload Approach
• All students in the FYAC will be assigned to an academic adviser– Generalist advisers guide students of all majors– Provide early alert, mid-semester evaluation and
academic probation support– Facilitate major/career exploration process
• Two required appointments (minimum) in the first year
![Page 13: COM 101 Instructor Workshop June 20, 2012. Welcome and Introductions.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e1b5503460f94b09d21/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Liaisons with Schools/College
• Each academic adviser will serve as a liaison to a school/college– Increase communication– Provide ongoing training for staff– Create collaborative opportunities for students
![Page 14: COM 101 Instructor Workshop June 20, 2012. Welcome and Introductions.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070407/56649e1b5503460f94b09d21/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Communications for Students
• FYAC discussed at New Student Orientation• Students provided academic adviser’s
information at Part Two• Comprehensive communication plan executed
to students throughout their first year– Common expectations– Important first-year information– Strategies for success
