Hudson Valley Community College’s College Success Referral System (CSRS) is open for Fall 2018! The College Success Referral System is designed to institutionally support the faculty and academic departments in the identification of and communication with students who are having difficulty in the classroom or with the college experience.
Instructions for using the College Success Referral System are available here: https://www.hvcc.edu/dept/issr/index.html#csrs.
In his Aug. 27 message to campus, President Roger Ramsammy reminds all faculty and staff of the importance of the College Success Referral System and other retention strategies. “As you know, early intervention is critical to helping students persist in their studies, so please take advantage of this tool,” President Ramsammy wrote.
Hudson Valley Community College has introduced the College Success Referral System based on the institution’s commitment to developing a systemic and integrated approach to student retention. The college recognizes that early detection of academic difficulties will increase the college’s ability to offer the student access to the appropriate support systems. To this end, the CSRS recognizes the importance of:
- easing the new student’s transition into the college environment
- early systematic identification of those students who may be academically at risk
- early identification of students who may be having difficulties in the classroom
- establishing a common communication link between students and their instructors, advisors, instructional support faculty, and department chairperson
Although the identification process will be available throughout the semester, early intervention is key so at-risk students can take the steps necessary to succeed. The time is now for corrective action to help students develop successful learning strategies and habits that promote student success and retention.
