QEP/NSE History

In what year did the design phase of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) begin?

2012

Who was involved in the design and articulation of Valencia's QEP (which became the New Student Experience)?

Broad-based institutional participation and consensus among constituent groups, including students, faculty, staff, and administrators, were at the heart of the decision-making process to determine Valencia’s QEP topic.

What were the four emerging themes that helped us narrow our focus for the QEP?

Hint: The themes were the result of the QEP Summer Reading Circles and Big Meeting.

• Student Purpose – Students with some sense of their purpose in life and college are more likely to be engaged, to learn, and to succeed in college.
• Student Learning – More than any other time in history, student learning can happen anywhere and at any time. Changes in the conditions for student learning require that we think differently about how we engage students in the learning process.
• Student Navigation – To be successful, Valencia students not only need an educational plan, but they also need clear and specific directions for navigating the demands of college.
• New Student Experience – To support learning, students need a holistic experience that is academically and socially engaging while providing connection and direction.

What two Strategic Indicators does the QEP support?

• Building Pathways – Valencia’s proactive approach to helping students develop personal and professional goals and a clear path to realizing those goals.
• Learning Assured – Valencia’s proactive approach to creating learning environments and conditions to help our students succeed.

What is the purpose of a Quality Enhancement Plan/Why are we doing this?!

• A Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a carefully designed course of action that addresses a well-defined and focused topic or issue related to enhancing student learning and/or the environment supporting student learning and accomplishing the mission of the institution.
• The QEP is part of our SACS re-accreditation plan and our continued commitment to support our students.

NSE Myths

(T or F) The phrase "New Student Experience" refers to a course that new students are required to take. 

True, but that's not the whole story! The New Student Experience course is one piece of a larger Student Experience that focuses on an entire program from NSO to Transfer.

(T or F) The New Student Experience course covers everything a new student needs to know and prepares the student for all other courses. 

False! It doesn’t! The NSE course (SLS1122) is focused on the 6P outcomes, while providing students with skills such as time management and writing emails that are necessary to succeed in college.

(T or F) It is the responsibility of faculty who teach Start Right general education courses to teach their students how to be successful.

True! Each course subject matter requires a different skill set that must be taught if a student is going to be successful.

(T or F) Students will be successful because they are required to take a limited number of courses.

False! Students still need to develop skills to succeed in college in the courses they take in their first 18 hours (Start Right Course Alignment).

Which students are required to take SLS1122 and when are they required to take the course?

All FTIC and FTAV students with fewer than 18 college-credit hours are required to take SLS1122, which is also a Gen Ed course. Due to enrollment planning, there will be a number of students who will not be able to take SLS1122 in their first term, but will be enrolled in their second term instead.

Final Jeopardy

Who can teach the SLS1122 course?

Both full-time and part-time faculty may teach the course once they have received Valencia’s internal credentials to do so.

This includes courses in the following three areas:

•Intro to NSE Course

•Strengths Quest

•Essential Advising Strategies
