Mandatory Summer Academic Advising

COCC's First-Year Experience Activity Team identified the need to increase communications to students who apply for
admission early in the process. While part of that will be addressed by Bobcat Welcome (a new, early and online
orientation), we also know that getting students registered in classes as early as possible builds a strong sense of
connection to the College. This prompted a discussion about new student advising days, which then lead to a
discussion on why academic advising is not required for summer term. COCC "urban legend" is that certificate- and
degree-seeking summer term students are only at COCC for one term and then return to their primary institution in fall.
However, institutional data indicates that an average of 67% of new, 45% of returning after an absence, and 60% of
transfer in students stay at COCC for fall term. In order for these students to be as successful as possible, we
recommend requiring academic advising for all certificate and degree-seeking students starting with summer 2020.
