Summary of Results

During the spring 2022 semester the new Student Intake Form was created and deployed to incoming students. The form asks students questions regarding parental status, working status, intention of full/part time academics, food, shelter, financial aid, technology and accessibility resources with the goal of outreach occurring to students prior to the start of fall semester and to have supports in place to positively impact success. Early results show 9 of 10 students responding have at least one need or area they would like additional information.
