What Students Say They Need to Succeed: Key Themes from a Study of Student Support

January 2013

This research brief presents five key themes from the Student Support (Re)defined study, synthesizing what students say about "six success factors" that served as a foundation for this study, and sharing strategies that students suggest may improve their achievement. The RP Group designed this report for those interested in advancing student success, including community college leaders, faculty and instructional administrators, student services professionals, staff, and students themselves. University practitioners, advocacy groups, and policymakers may also benefit from these findings when considering policy and funding decisions that impact efforts to improve completion and/or the delivery of student support. This brief shares high-level analysis of what the student perspectives research findings collectively mean, and offers guided discussion questions to promote a dialog among community college leaders about the how these implications can inform change in policy and practice.
