Student Feedback on Student Services Programs
In Spring 2023, the ARC Research Office asked students to give feedback on their experiences with Student Services programs. We want to thank students who took the time and effort to share their experiences with us. Below are highlights of what students told us they wanted and what ARC Student Services are doing toward meeting those needs.
Students told us they wanted More financial aid with better communication about financial aid options and opportunities. Here is what some of our programs have been doing:
- EOP&S has updated its website to keep up with changes in Financial Aid and sends reminders to students about FAFSA and other financial aid opportunities and resources.
- TRIO SSS Journey provides direct support with participants’ FAFSA application on an as-needed basis and regularly communicates with participants regarding FAFSA modifications and deadlines utilizing Canvas, Instagram, and Facebook. In Spring 2024, the program hosted a two-week drop-in workshop to support students directly with applying for Foundation scholarships.
This month, students will have another opportunity to give their feedback about ARC Student Services programs in the annual Student Satisfaction with ARC Support Services survey. The survey will be distributed via emails from the ARC Research Office. Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey.
