MISSION STATEMENT Through partnership with the Purdue community, the Academic Success Center (ASC) provides

undergraduate students with both credit and noncredit opportunities to develop students’ transferable

academic skills, enhance learning, increase retention, and improve overall student success at multiple

stages of their academic journey.

VISION STATEMENT The ASC aspires to provide all undergraduate students with services and opportunities to define and

develop strategies to reach their full potential. Driven by a focus on students, the ASC partners with the

campus community to facilitate a culture of academic confidence, tenacity, and, ultimately, success.

PROGRAM ELEMENTS The Academic Success Center provides free services that support students’ learning with a focus on the process strategies and skills that support the content expertise provided in the classroom.

Academic Consultations are individual meetings that provide students with tailored support on study strategies, time management, test-taking strategies, and other academic success topics. These 1-on-1 meetings are with a staff member and require an appointment. Participating students may voluntarily seek support or may be required by an academic program or campus office to meet with an academic consultant.

Peer Success Coaching program (PSC) offers students additional support, campus resources and connections, and accountability as they work toward academic, social, and/or personal goals. Trained peer leaders work 1-on-1 with students to develop strategies, skills, and solutions as they aim for their definition of success.

Supplemental Instruction program (SI) provides students with interactive, peer-led study sessions for traditionally challenging courses. The trained SI leader facilitates group activities that engage students in critically thinking about the course material, applying the concepts, and learning transferable study skills. In fall and spring semesters, SI is offered in 30+ courses with 45+ SI leaders. In summer semesters, SI is offered online for a limited number of courses.

Study Skills Course- GS 29001 is a one-credit hour, first 8 weeks course that focuses on discussing and applying effective academic strategies including goal setting, time management, and study skills.

Workshops provide an interactive environment for small to large groups of students to identify and practice strategies for effective studying and learning, including time management, overcoming procrastination, and effective studying. In addition to our open series of workshops, student organizations or classes can request a workshop for their group.

Test Drive is a large-scale workshop that offers students in select high-enrollment, first-year chemistry, math, and biology courses the opportunity to take a mock exam in the Elliott Hall of Music environment. The program was started in 2017 to help address a common concern brought up by first-year students – they felt unprepared for their first round of exams due to how intimidating Elliott Hall of Music is as an exam setting.

Online Resources are available for students and the campus community through the ASC website, and include success strategy handouts, a GPA calculator, and a searchable database of course-specific help rooms and tutoring programs offered across campus.

NOTABLE CHANGES In March 2020, Purdue made the decision to shift all instruction and assessment to be online in

response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This caused us to change our work in the following ways:

o Academic consultations, PSC coaching meetings, and student leader events (trainings,

celebrations, supervision meetings, etc.) shifted to a virtual format utilizing WebEx,

Zoom, GoBoard.com, and remote connection options.

o The online SI pilot planned for summer 2020 was modified to begin online SI

implementation across all SI courses and sessions. A course was created in the Learning

Management System (LMS) that automatically enrolled all students in an SI-linked

course to aid with communication about session and office hour logistics, including links

to WebEx Training.

o The last remaining workshop scheduled for the semester was cancelled, and a new

webinar series around studying and learning remotely was offered to students. In

addition to the live webinars, recordings of the webinars were made available on the

ASC website after the session.

o The ASC created a new page on the website to help students navigate the on-going

shifts to campus academic support offerings. The “Available Academic Support

Resources” page was also connected to other university webpages including Learning

Remotely and COVID-19 FAQs.

Summer SI: SI sessions were offered in seven courses for summer 2020. This is the first summer

semester with a formal and planned offering of SI. Due to the need to begin online sessions in

the spring, the summer SI sessions were able to implement some lessons learned from the

spring rather than being a pilot. Additionally, summer online SI sessions allowed for the program

to shift to the new LMS before the fall semester.

Staffing: One of the assistant director roles became vacant in October 2019 and remains open

due to a hiring freeze implemented during the final stages of the hiring process.

Student Leader Development: The goal of creating more cohesion and community among ASC

student leaders continued to be a priority during the 2019-2020 academic year.

o Competencies: The ASC professional staff began the process of defining the ASC’s core

values, professional staff competencies, and student leader competencies in spring 2019

and finalized the student leader competencies (listed under Learning Outcomes) in early

fall 2019. The competencies were integrated into all student leader hiring starting in

Page 4: MISSION STATEMENT VISION STATEMENT PROGRAM ELEMENTS · 1 day ago · MISSION STATEMENT Through partnership with the Purdue community, the Academic Success Center (ASC) provides undergraduate

Last updated: December 8, 2020

spring 2020. Plans to incorporate the competencies into a common student leader

evaluation process were paused in spring 2020 due to the shift to remote learning.

o ASC Student Leader Summit: The ASC hosted the Inaugural ASC Student Leader Summit

in January 2020. The Summit was a two day, conference-style training for all ASC

student leaders with sessions that focused around the student leader competencies.

Sessions were presented by campus partners and 18 student leaders. The summit

feedback showed it met the goals of increasing interaction among student leaders in

different positions, allowing returning leaders new opportunities for professional

development beyond typical training topics, and increasing understanding of the ASC

core values and student leader competencies.

Impact of Attending SI Accounting for Self-Selection Bias

Background

In order to understand how SI influences students’ academic performances in critical courses, a

study was conducted to investigate the differences in course grades between SI attendees and

non-attendees. This study utilizes propensity-matching method, which matches students based

on a series of characteristics between SI and non-SI groups so we can compare their

achievement differences. The matching characteristics used in this study are:

Course: course title

SI Indicator: whether the student attended SI

International: domestic or international residency status

Gender: male or female

URM: Under-represented minority or not

First Generation Status: whether a first generation student in college

Ethnicity: a student’s reporting ethnicity (e.g. White, Asian, etc.)

Prior GPA: a student’s cum GPA in the semester before their SI attendance

High School GPA: only used if and when students have no prior GPA in the system

The outcome variable is the course grade in the SI-participating course, converted to the

4.0 scale.

Process

First, SI attendees are matched with their counterparts in the non-attendee group based on the

series of characteristics listed above. Taking BIOL for example, we can see that all SI attendees

were successfully matched with non-attendees. The matching results are shown in the graph

below.

Next, the numeric course grades are compared between SI attendees and non-attendees within

the course. For example, in BIOL courses, the analysis shows that at p<0.001, SI attendees

generally tend to have higher course grades than their matched counterparts who did not

attend SI – 2.81 vs 2.61.

Findings

Using data from Spring 2017 and Fall 2017 semesters, the analysis revealed that for some

disciplines, there is a difference in the academic achievement between SI attendees and non-

attendees, such as in MATH and BIOL, and the results are statistically significant. However, this

does not seem to be the case with STAT, CS, ECE, or MGMT. Upon further investigation into

specific courses within these disciplines, it is found that within CS, SI attendees do differ

academically from non-attendees in CS180 and CS240, but not in CS158/159.

Retention Data For the 2014 cohort, the six-year graduate rate is 7% higher for students who attended one or more SI

sessions their first year than for students who did not attend SI their first year.

For the 2019 cohort, the one-year retention rate is 4% higher for students who attended one or more SI

sessions this year than for students who did not attend SI

Academic Standing of Students Served through Consultations One of the learning outcomes the ASC has for academic consultations is participating students will

“maintain or return to good academic standing status (term and cumulative GPA at or above 2.0).”

When looking at the outcome of a semester’s academic standing, it is helpful to consider the academic

standing the participating students were in during the semester they received support. For students in

good standing, the goal is to maintain their academic good standing. For students on academic

probation, the ideal goal is to earn a cumulative and term GPA of 2.0+ so they can return to good

standing. However depending on the student’s cumulative GPA, it may not be mathematically possible

to return to good standing in just one semester; in these situations, remaining on probation is a neutral

to positive outcome. For all students, being academically dismissed or “dropped” is not the desired

outcome. The charts below show the academic standing outcomes of participating students versus all

Purdue students based on their standing groups during the semester. Due to COVID-19, no students

students who were in good standing when seeking support remained in good standing at the end of the

term. That same semester, more than half (62.7%) of the participating students who were on academic

probation during the semester of support returned to academic good standing. In Spring 2020, 75.4% of

students who were on probation during the semester of support returned to academic good standing.
