Interventions and supports as you navigate potential challenges. College can be challenging, and life can get complicated as you navigate being a student.
ASPIRE has a special set of resources to help you regain your focus, if your learning starts to go off-track. The goal is to make sure you feel supported, connected and never alone.
Academic Progression Monitoring and Support:
At-Risk Alerts
During weeks 3 and 8 of each semester, the college works to identify any student who may be at academic risk. We then provide proactive outreach and support.
Colts Calls Calling Campaign
Around Engagement Week, our team of work-study students run a Colts Calls Calling Campaign, where we check in with first-semester students. Any concerns that you have are then sent to the department that needs to hear it, to advise and resolve.
ASPIRE Lite
The ASPIRE Lite program is for students on Conditional standing. It is a free asynchronous online program that will allow students to do a self-assessment, complete interactive modules, create an action plan, and engage in self-reflection. This early intervention program provides students with strategies and support to help them avoid academic probation and achieve good academic standing.
ASPIRE Engage
The ASPIRE Engage program is for students on academic probation. Like the ASPIRE Lite program, ASPIRE Engage is a free online program that offers a comprehensive learning experience to support the challenges of academic probation. The program includes self-assessments, interactive modules, discussion posts, surveys and reflective activities. It also includes drop-in sessions and check-ins with Learning Advisors, Success Advisors, Peer Mentors and academic coaches, to make sure you’re supported along the way. You’ll develop the skills and strategies needed to work your way back to good academic standing.
ASPIRE+
The ASPIRE+ program is an in-person, 10-week program that supports students who are on academic suspension. The program helps suspended students regain their academic standing, and continue their education. Through ASPIRE+, you engage in Learning Strategies that develop time management, goal setting and self-motivation. You’ll also receive guidance from learning strategists who give you personalized support to address your specific academic challenges.
This program runs alongside other services, giving you access to resources to improve your academic skills and resilience. Through a supportive and empowering environment, ASPIRE+ helps you overcome setbacks and regain confidence in your abilities, leading to a successful return to college.
