As an access institution, we are offering an alternative pathway for students who may have faced challenges resulting in their withdrawal from a course. This provides a revised roadmap to completion, depending on course rotation.

Faculty and Student Success Coaches have been provided with information and guidelines to assist students in achieving their graduation objectives within a two-year timeframe, considering their prior academic performance.
We are currently implementing a team advisement approach aimed at strengthening students' connection to the institution. Following the completion of their co-requisite classes, students will maintain their collaboration with their Success Coach, who will serve as an integral member of their advisement team throughout their tenure at EGSC.
It is essential to facilitate clear communication with students regarding the financial implications of enrolling in the summer semester. Students may have the opportunity to take advantage of summer Pell grants, particularly if they do not require housing and are maintaining satisfactory academic progress. This could provide an opportunity for students to enhance their GPA. Furthermore, it is important to maintain open lines of communication with faculty and administration to expand and improve the summer course offerings, ensuring their availability for all students.
