About the support pillar
Every student’s journey to a degree is different. Because of their diverse backgrounds, demands outside of school, and unique talents and abilities, every student must chart their own path to graduation. Institutions committed to student success are doing everything they can to provide wraparound supports that meet basic needs so nothing gets in the way of a student’s goals.
Address co-curricular needs so students can focus on college goals
Students navigating food insecurity, childcare, financial constraints, or other life challenges need more than academic support to graduate on time. We equip institutions to proactively address students’ needs beyond the classroom, so every student can focus on reaching their college goals.
Active Academic Support
Provide students with programs and services to help them develop the academic skills needed to be successful.
Proactive Advising
Require advisors to take a preemptive approach that anticipates and helps eliminate concerns, roadblocks, and barriers affecting student success.
360° Coaching
Provide students with a designated coach to contact whenever issues arise in and outside of the classroom. Train coaches to work with students to find answers, identify appropriate resources, and advocate or intervene on their behalf.
Student Basic Needs Support
Ensure that students have access to food, housing, childcare, physical and mental health services, financial assistance, and transportation.
