This document summarizes the results of a survey given to 10,000 UVU students about their awareness and understanding of academic resources and processes. The survey found that first-generation students had less confidence in the college application and financial aid processes before beginning college compared to non-first generation students. It also found that first-generation students had less understanding of common academic terms like syllabus, transcripts, and FAFSA before college. Additionally, first-generation students have lower educational expectations than non-first generation students, both before and during college. The document concludes that UVU could improve helping students and parents understand enrollment, administration, and financial aid.

As educators, we have all encountered the scenario of receiving repeated emails from students (or a posts on a discussion board) requesting information that is contained within the subject outline, is on UTSOnline or is available on the UTS website. In an introductory undergraduate accounting subject, we designed an automated chatbot to attempt to relieve some of the administrative load of subject coordinators. In this presentation we will discuss the process and challenges related to creating a chatbot, preliminary data on usage by students and future implementation plans.ABLE - UKAT - Using Learning Analytics to Boost Personal Tutoring

The document discusses rising student expectations for their university experience and what students value. Students value high quality learning and teaching, employability opportunities like placements, career guidance, excellent resources, and a friendly campus environment. To develop a great student experience, universities must maintain respect between students and staff, recognize the value of student unions, listen to student views, and deliver supportive services. Universities should also look for ways to improve employability and keep alumni engaged after they graduate. Rising expectations require better information sharing and a focus on continual improvement to maintain high student satisfaction.WCET Leadership Summit - SmarterMeasure & Noncognitive Readiness Data

This 124-item online assessment measures student attributes, learning styles, life factors, skills, and typing ability to predict student success. Over 500 colleges and universities use SmarterMeasure, which has been taken by over 2.2 million students since 2002. Studies have found statistically significant relationships between SmarterMeasure scores and student achievement, engagement, retention, and satisfaction. For example, less than 10% of students with low scores on skills, resources, and time management experienced academic success.

This document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by the Brescia University College Students' Council to gather feedback from students. 309 students responded. The survey found that students priority is financial aid for university. Students would benefit most from scholarships, bursaries, and mental health support. They rated the BUCSC positively but said it could better advertise events and services. With $50,000, students suggested funding bursaries, improving campus facilities like WiFi, study spaces and food options, and offering more social and academic events. In conclusion, students require more financial assistance and places to relax as well as learn on campus.IDRA Ready Texas Pre Survey Results

OK. We are past the May 1 "finish line" and now have a good (or somewhat good) handle on what our class looks like for the fall ... Except there are a few issues:
Summer Melt will still happen
We need to fill upper-level courses with transfer students because of retention issues
The President decided she actually wants 20 more students than we had originally planned
Do any of these sound familiar? It's most likely that if you are not "in the top 1% of institutions" you are dealing with one if not all of these challenges (or others!) as you try to shift gears to 2018 but are still on the hook for 2017.
How do enrollment managers find that balance between long-term strategy and just bringing in their class? This webinar will provide some insights and suggestions for bridging short-term enrollment gaps while not sacrificing long-term strategic planning.College planning spring 2010

The survey examined students' perspectives on factors influencing their college selection process such as academic quality, fit, success after college, and preferred communication methods. Key findings include that students prioritize career outcomes, hands-on learning, and faculty passion when evaluating academic quality. Campus visits, meeting students, and classrooms are most important for determining fit. Graduation rates and job placement are top predictors of success after college. Email and mail are preferred forms of contact early in the process, while phone and email are preferred later on.Developmental evaluations for institutional impact

What don’t first-generation students know about college (terminology like bursars office, syllabus, rubric, FAFSA, etc.; what an appropriate course load is; how to choose a major; etc.)? How do first-generation students get information about attending college/comparing colleges? Introduction
