Project Renaissance - A Medical Model of Intervention to Promote Student Success for Under-prepared Students

Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)

Florida Community College at Jacksonville is proud to present our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). Our plan is focused on one of the greatest challenges encountered by all community colleges - facilitating the success of students with academic skill deficiencies. The retention and graduation rates of these often talented "at-risk" students are simply too low. Accordingly, our College has committed to better addressing the unique needs of this diverse and important student population. Enhanced understanding, innovation and collaborative intervention lie at the heart of our QEP effort. The plan involves Collegewide participation through a unique "medical model" approach which is now driving 45 ongoing academic and support initiatives to improve the success of students who are placed in college preparatory (remedial) classes. The plan has three major goals:

• Increase the fall-to-fall retention rate of our college preparatory students;
• Increase the success rates of college preparatory students; and,
• Increase the program completion rate of college preparatory students.
