In Practice: Student Services

From the Rubric

• Incomplete: Links to institutional services are not included, thus requiring students to exit the course to find support resources.

• Aligned: Links to institutional services (such as disability services, online counseling, online tutoring, online readiness, the library, etc.) are included and clearly labeled.

• Exemplary: Links to institutional services are provided in the modules, the assignments, and/or activities where they may be needed most. 

How to Implement

Students have a wide range of experience levels and background knowledge about the support services that are available to them when they take a class at Mesa. Some may have taken classes online at Mesa before while others may be returning to college for the first time in years, and they have found their way into your class unsure about the student services offered at Mesa. Share information about the student support services available to your students. This can be done by keeping the "Online Student Support Services" link in the menu of Canvas courses at Mesa, by importing the Orientation Module for Mesa College from the Canvas Commons, or sharing this information with students directly in the assignments and activities where they are most likely needed.
