| Initiative Title | Offer academic support sessions prior to final exams |
|---|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Final exam time is often stressful for students, and they need academic (and sometimes emotional) support to pass their courses. Offering specific times for these types of support sessions (and staffing them with faculty) may increase completion rates in our programs. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Without carrying out this initiative, our completion rate may drop. It is essential that students are able to have the academic resources and support that they need in order to successfully complete courses, and ultimately complete their program requirements. |
| Department Goals | Develop and carry out more extensive student supports to increase retention and completion of academic programs. |
