  9. Transition Survey Components • The survey consists of multiple questions that make up the following factors:

  10. So based on the research about Early Adjustment to College, MAP-Works… FOR STUDENTS: • Encourages students to build self-efficacy by promoting self-reflection and successful behaviors • Promotes reasonable expectations of college • Serves as a filter for the expectations through which students evaluate their experiences • Collects data and offers targeted opportunity for interventions to occur during the first month • Emphasizes both academic and socio-emotional adjustment

  11. So based on the research about Early Adjustment to College, MAP-Works… FOR THE UNIVERSITY: • Allows for data collection, which: • Can offer opportunities for earlier intervention • Allows IR/departments to learn more about students (as 1 large group or subdivided) • Allows the study of retention patterns • Facilitates collaborations among depts/divisions • Makes possible more meaningful student-to-faculty interactions • Earlier and in-depth information about student self-perceptions and performance • Hard data
