Our Suggested Timeline:
6 Months
Friday, November 15, 2013
Lessons Learned
Start EARLY!
There are Many Steps Involved. Begin at least 6 months Ahead.
Classes should be Confirmed Prior to the Start of the Planning Semester
Identify Coordinators at the High School & the
College Campus
Both must be Reliable, Detail-Oriented & able to keep this a Top Priority
Must be Connected with Administrators & must be able to Coordinate &
Execute the different steps
Have a Standardized Process with Concrete Steps
& Deadlines
Guides everyone thru all the Necessary Processes in a Timely Manner
Offer a “Starter-Packet” to all New Partners
Friday, November 15, 2013
Lessons Learned
Have Ways to Track Students’ Progress in Completing
Steps
Needs to be Shared with ALL Involved
Educate Schools on how to Best Engage with you AND
how to best utilize your Campus as a Resource
Course Selection, Fill Strategies, Overall Course-Offering Process
Know your Campus’s Standards & Parameters prior
to Entering into an Early College Partnership
Fill Rates, Cost-Structures, Cancellation Policy, Course Withdrawal, Admissions &
Registration Requirements, etc.
Ensure Consistency with other Early College Programs
Flexibility is Important, but so is Consistency
Many Offices are Involved. Practices must be effective across all.

Lessons Learned
Recognized “Bottlenecks” in the Application
Process, i.e. Late Start, Processing of Applications
Importance of Working Closely with Partners:
HS College Counselors, METS, Kauhale, MA’O, A/R,
NSO Committee, etc.
Having Students Pulled Out of Class to Meet with
Peers is Key
Finding the Right Peer Mentors - Student Hires
Streamlining the Process - Having Everyone
“buy-in” to One Process
Having Physical Presence at Schools & Checklist to
follow Students’ Progress

Lessons Learned
If you Build it, they will Not Come
Few students volunteer to do what is “good” for them, Students do not
do Optional
If you want to Serve Students, you Must go to Them
Asking Students to Participate in an Event asks them to use the very
Skills they tend to Lack (i.e., Self-Advocacy, Resourcefulness, Academic
Confidence)
Coaching them into Participation is part of the Work
An FYE Program is a Retention Strategy in Disguise
FYE is known for Emphasizing Connectivity
Must also Address the Other Factors that Encourage Drop Out
Friday, November 15, 2013
Lessons Learned
A Successful FYE Program has Campus-wide
Involvement
It is based on Partnerships, both Academic and Non-Academic
You must be able to “bring it to scale”
A Successful FYE Program must be Deliberate &
Strategic
Friday, November 15, 2013
The Future of FYE
Leverage the HS Bridge Program to assist with the
Transition into FYE
The Establishment of a FYE Pathway that depicts the
Sequential Steps of a First Year Student’s Experience
Strategies will “go to them” vs. asking them to “come to us”
Tighter and more Deliberate Coordination &
Collaboration with the College’s Retention Team
CTE Retention Specialists, Academic Coaching
Roll-Out of a Specific Retention Strategy that Addresses 6 known Retention
Issues
Broader Campus-Inclusion
