Abstract

Aims Community College introduced a new program entitled Emerging Scholars in fall 2007 to serve underprepared students and improve retention rates for this population. Specifically, the program was established to assist incoming, degree/certificate-seeking students who placed into at least two levels of remediation (English/math, math/reading, reading/English) with adjustment to college issues and successfully transitioning to college-level courses. Contained within this paper is a description of the evolution of this program including national, state, and institutional trend data; the theoretical framework for the program; program elements; results; and implications for practice.

The Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange at the University of Oklahoma is a consortium of two-year and four-year institutions dedicated to achieving the highest levels of student success through collaboratively sharing data, knowledge, and innovation.

CSRDE is a sponsored activity of the Center for Institutional Data Exchange and Analysis at
