  1. First Year Intervention Learning Resources Center UMBC

  2. What is the First Year Intervention Program? (FYI) • The First Year Intervention Program (FYI) is an early alert program designed to identify and help students in their first year at UMBC who are struggling academically. • Since its inception over 20 years ago, the FYI program has evolved to better serve the UMBC population: • Faculty now send alerts directly to first-year students, rather than submitting them to our office. • Faculty may send alerts to students who are not in their first year.

  3. How does FYI help students? • Informing students early enough for them to take action • Providing students with information about on-campus resources to help them take action.

  4. FYI Action Resource Center • Upon receiving an Alert, students are directed to the Action Resource Center– an online location where students are encouraged to seek help for their individual situations. • Resources include: • Academic and Pre-Professional Advising • Blackboard “Check My Activity” • Counseling Center • Instructor • Office of Residential Life • Office of Undergraduate Education • Student Support Services

  5. FYI Action—Academic and Pre-Professional Advisement • Advising is essential for student academic success. • FYI and Advising Notes • Allows advisors to see if a student is struggling with a certain course • Helps the advisor work with the student to plan a course of action • Additional resources for transfer students

  6. FYI Action– Office of Residential Life • Coordinator met with students receiving at least one alert in Fall 2013. • Community directors and faculty mentors met with students with two or more alerts. • Staff collected data and shared it with LRC.

  7. FYI Action–Academic Support • The Learning Resources Center offers multiple forms of academic support • Department Tutorial/Help Centers

  8. FYI-Fall 2013 Data • 34.64% of Freshmen and Transfers received alerts (N=1283/3704 (unduplicated). • Of the 1861 alerts sent, 59% resulted in a successful outcome (Students earned an A, B, C, P, or W).

  9. FYI—How you can help • Faculty participation is key to this program. • By sending alerts early, students have more time to seek help and improve their grades. • By sending alerts before the final drop deadline, students can withdraw from classes they may have otherwise failed. • Students are encouraged to follow up with faculty
