Student Success Services
Set students on the path to success and keep them there
The next cohort of university students will be starting their journeys under very different and following extremely challenging circumstances. Ensuring that they feel fully supported and well-prepared for their higher education experience will be vital. We’re committed to helping you give your students the best chance of success during their time at university – from transitioning into higher education for the first time, to progressing out to further study or employment.
Our suite of Student Success Services is designed to help you provide customised and engaging personal and academic online support to students, whatever their prior experiences.
Complementing your university’s existing good practice, these services will equip your students with the awareness, information, skills and strategies they need to develop to become successful HE learners.
Supporting students' transition and skills development, the Conley Readiness Index (CRI) is a 30 minute online analysis tool that assesses students’ strengths and weaknesses and identifies gaps between their aspirations and their skills. It shows students how to improve their chances of success and enables educators to offer personalised feedback at scale.
These self-paced, interactive online learning modules are designed to support students with both academic and personal aspects of university life, such as Wellbeing and Transition. The Units give students opportunities to develop key skills and build confidence, which in turn can lead to stronger engagement, higher retention and more successful outcomes.
Smarthinking helps you give students 24/7 online access to high-quality, personalised tutor support with academic writing or subject-specific advice. Complementing your existing in-house tutor service, Smarthinking provides a scalable way to give students the out-of-hours support they need, when they need it.
Integrating our Student Success Services into your existing provision can help students hit the ground running and feel better prepared to progress through their course. These services are designed to help you widen participation and improve students' experience –leading to stronger retention and better outcomes.
The components of the service are designed to be tailored to your university’s existing provision and your students’ ongoing needs.
Here is an example of how our Student Success Services could be implemented within the first few months of a student’s journey into higher education:
Implementation support
- You will have access to a dedicated Training Consultant to make sure implementation, for staff and students, runs smoothly.
- The components are all online, helping you shift your provision to a digital environment.
- Everything sits in your university’s VLE, meaning access is easy and consistent with students’ existing experience.
- Data derived from the services can help influence your ongoing provision.
