Under “Student Lists” you will find “Real-Time Lists”, “My Real-Time Lists,” “Static Lists” and “Academic Update Lists.”

More information about using and constructing lists is provided in subsequent training modules.

The contact support link at the bottom right allows access to the knowledge base and your MAP-Works campus support contact information who can answer your MAP-Works questions.

13

Understanding Risk Indicators The MAP-Works survey asks in-depth questions to collect data on factors which contribute to the risk factor assigned to a student. This indicator identifies a student who may be a retention risk or academically at risk based on predictive statistical modeling from survey responses. Survey nonrespondents are identified based only on uploaded profile data. Weak responses in multiple factors contribute to a high or very high risk indicator. The student may be struggling to transition socially, academically, experiencing roommate conflict, or worried about affording tuition.

Very High- Student is at significant risk of leaving the institution or having poor academic performance.

High-Student is at high risk of leaving the institution or having poor academic performance.

Moderate- Student is moderately at risk of leaving the institution or having poor academic performance.

Low- Student is at low risk of leaving the institution or having poor academic performance.

Remember, when you see a student at High or Very High risk, the Risk Indicator is not meant to define the student but rather, identify students who could benefit most from your additional time and attention.

14

High priority students: students with no interaction contacts logged since the most recent high risk indicator was determined (survey, academic update, etc.).

Student interaction contacts include: in person meetings with students, phone conversations with students, an email received from a student and a phone or voice mail received from a student.

Guidelines for Writing Notes Describing details surrounding an issue when writing a note, issuing a referral or logging an activity, helps to inform other staff who are directly connected to the student regarding how they provided assistance to that student.

It is important to remember that the student has the right to request to see everything written about them, including the details you record in these notes, referrals and logs. The details you input should be specific enough that other MAP-Works users understand the student’s circumstances but vague enough to not infringe upon sensitive or personal information about the student.

When you write your comments or notes, try to objectively share only first-hand, observable behaviors and activities you note while interacting with a student.

Judgmental or speculative language should not be included.

Good examples include: Note: Notes are a great way to document a student’s progress in dealing with an issue “Shared note” from Appalachian RA about a resident (October 2011): “G-has shared with me that he is considering transferring to Chapel Hill because of their Business program. He is applying, but is undecided about transferring. In regards to the living situation, right before filling out the survey, G- had to deal with a particularly difficult situation in Bowie that his RA and myself are already aware of. G- met with the Counseling Center and plans to continue to meet with them.”

Referrals: Issuing a referral notifies other users of an urgent issue requiring direct attention and assigns the responsibility of immediate response to a specific individual or referral office “Direct Referral” Assigned to RD and the Office of Counseling and Psychological Services, issued by RA during 2011 implementation: “A- is considering withdrawing at the end of this week because she has struggled to make friends and feels depressed because she thinks she does not belong here at ASU. A spends a lot of time outside the building and has been going home most weekends because of unresolved conflict with her roommate.

When we met one-on-one she expressed a deep sense of homesickness and indicated she is considering withdrawing to attend a community college close to home. I have suggested A should seek a roomchange to find a more positive living environment and try the Office of Counseling and Psychological services.”

Direct Referral Assigned to University Tutoring Services issued by a faculty user during 2011 implementation: “P-is at risk of failure in my class because he has missed more than 3 classes and has failed two of the four exams administered in the course. In a meeting during office hours, P- expressed frustration with 60

his low grades claiming he spent an adequate amount of time studying for each exam. He may need to learn new study skills. Without drastically improved academic performance his GPA will place him in danger of academic probation. Referring to University Tutoring for concept reinforcement and improved study skills.”

Direct Referral Assigned to Office of Financial Aid issued by Academic Advisor during 2011 implantation: “In advising session, student informed me he is planning to withdraw tomorrow morning due to financial hardship and he can no longer afford tuition. I strongly encouraged exploring financial aid options before withdrawing.”

Interaction Contact: Document the topics and outcomes of time spent with student Individual Meeting between an RA and a resident: “J- ended last semester with decent grades, and this semester is finding courses difficult but manageable. She has been battling depression, has gone to the Counseling Center for help and seems to be improving. I will continue to check in with her. She gets along well with roommate K-, and is living in an apartment next year with some friends.”

Non-Interaction Contacts: Document voice or e-mail correspondence with students.

“Left student voice mail advising them to come to an academic advising appointment soon since this is their final semester of academic probation and courses do not seem in line with regaining good academic standing.”
