Student Tracking System, San Antonio College.
Cherne, Ferne; And Others
The Student Tracking System (STS) at San Antonio College is designed to increase retention of high risk students, and primarily students enrolled in developmental education courses. In addition to identifying students experiencing difficulty in the classroom, STS alerts educational support services personnel to these students, provides a system of intervention before the student fails or withdraws, and evaluates the effectiveness of support services. Characteristics of developmental education students at the college include: low placement scores and high school grades, employed part-time, less likely to attend college for job-related reasons, want help in basic skills, and more likely to be minority. Services available through STS are provided by a Counseling Center, a Basic Skills Learning Laboratory, and a Tutorial Service. Students are referred to these services by faculty or staff, or can refer themselves. Upon completion of the services, students complete an evaluation of the service. At the end of the semester, a follow-up questionnaire is sent to each student and instructor to determine their perceptions of the services. Appendices include: an educational planning form, a referral form, descriptions of workshops for developmental students, and four evaluation forms. (SW)
