Mid-Semester Progress Reports – To enhance early intervention efforts, in Fall 2009 <strong>the</strong> ASK<br />
Office, with <strong>the</strong> approval <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> faculty Instruction Committee, piloted a mid-semester academic<br />
progress report for all first year students. Based on attendance and assignments completed by<br />
mid-term, instructors rate student performance as ei<strong>the</strong>r satisfactory or unsatisfactory, and <strong>the</strong><br />
ASK Office contacts each student who receives a “U” to encourage <strong>the</strong>m to work with ASK<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. The faculty voted to continue <strong>the</strong> Mid-Semester Progress Reports, for as <strong>the</strong> data<br />
shows in Table 5.16 below, <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> first-year students who receive a report <strong>of</strong><br />
Unsatisfactory and <strong>the</strong>n employ ASK Offices services go on to be successful in <strong>the</strong> course. The<br />
migration <strong>of</strong> data from Jenzabar to Colleague made <strong>the</strong> Report unfeasible for <strong>the</strong> 2011-2012<br />
academic year, but <strong>the</strong> College anticipates resuming its use in <strong>the</strong> 2012-2013 academic year.<br />
Greater participation from <strong>the</strong> faculty, however, is needed to make this retention effort more<br />
successful, since in 2010-2011, fewer than half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> faculty had implemented this practice in all<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir freshman courses.<br />

Assistance to Students with Disabilities—Services provided to on-campus and ASAP students<br />
with disabilities are arranged through <strong>the</strong> ASK Office and include individual and group tutoring,<br />
readers, scribes, alternative testing, and counseling. Data on ASK utilization by this population<br />
is shown in Table 5.17 (next page), and indicates <strong>the</strong> success rate <strong>of</strong> those who employ <strong>the</strong><br />
services and accommodations provided to <strong>the</strong>m through ASK. The challenge is to encourage<br />
more students to use <strong>the</strong>se resources.<br />
