Wraparound support is proving its effectiveness in improving student outcomes, as evidenced by the adoption of CUNY's ASAP model at Westchester Community College, which saw a 12-percentage-point boost in graduation rates during its first three years. Developed to address retention and completion barriers, the initiative combines personalized advising, tailored enrollment strategies, and financial aid for students. With broader implementation planned across SUNY campuses, WCC's Viking ROADS program serves as a successful blueprint for enhancing educational success among community college students.
The success of Viking ROADS during its initial three years showed a 12-percentage-point increase in graduation rates among participants, despite challenges from remote instruction during the pandemic.
The ASAP model involves personalized academic advising, specialized enrollment options, and covers financial aid for course materials and transportation costs over three years.
