All student success activities scaffold learning to occur within the module in which they are deployed. For example: Where the assignment requires APA citations; students are required to complete the APA citations student success activities. Student retention has been calculated semester over semester since the implementation of Student Success Activities and the overall student retention rate has remained steady around 78%. For online learning this is a very good retention rate. More research will be done to ensure that Student Success Activities impact student activities positively.
