A promising practice could be a strategy, initiative or program viewed by the institution to be an innovative practice, success story and/or key accomplishment that the institution would like to highlight. Student Affairs promotes its programs and services in several formats and by doing so has increased students’ awareness of the programs and services available to them. Raising awareness is a significant factor in supporting access, retention and success of our learners. Programs and services offered to students include Academic Advising, counselling and tutoring. These services are student centred and offered on a schedule that is in sync with the academic cycle. For example advisors and tutors offer extended hours during key periods such as during mid- terms and exam study periods. The Learning Assistance Centre, Financial Aid and Academic Advising all provide services and advice that are customised to each student’s situation. Student Services focuses on working with students deemed "at risk", to help resolve any issues preventing them from completing their course of study.

To retain cohort continuity, data for successive years below the final year of a program is taken for successively preceding years back to first year. Thus, for example, the current rates for a mature three year program draw from data in four year cohorts covering the time span from fall 2004 to winter 2010. The College-wide retention rate for year n to year n+1 is calculated by dividing the sum of count date data for all levels in year n+1 by the sum of all count date data for all levels in year n, only for those programs of n+1 years duration. • Please provide one or more examples in the space provided below of a promising practice that Fanshawe College used during 2009-10 related to student retention.
