Tristan effect… Co-requisite Math and English in first-year (better: first- semester) Select a pathway/meta-major 9 credits within the first 30 credits should be in area of interest HIP within first 30 credits Full time Results: drastically higher retention and graduation rates for the entire Tennessee Higher Education System (Community Colleges and Universities)

High Impact Practices (HIPs) Nationally, it is accepted there are 11 High Impact Practices first-year seminars and experiences common intellectual experiences learning communities writing-intensive courses collaborative assignments and projects undergraduate research diversity/global learning service learning and community based learning internships capstone courses and projects study abroad

Response to USHE (Qudisat & White) There are ten High-Impact Practices (HIP) that are incorporated at Utah Valley University (UVU); these include: first-year seminars and experiences, common intellectual experiences, learning communities, writing- intensive courses, collaborative assignments and projects, undergraduate research, diversity/global learning, service-learning and community-based learning, internships, and capstone courses and projects.

HIPs at UVU Out of the eight colleges at Utah Valley University, there are 46 overarching programs, which encompass all the degrees offered. Of the 46 programs at UVU, every program requires a global/intercultural (GI) course and English 1010 and 2010/2020 for graduation. These courses fulfill two of the ten High-Impact Practices, which include writing-intensive courses and diversity/global learning. Therefore, all programs have at least two HIP requirements to graduate. Although every program has at least one HIP requirement, not every program encompasses every HIP, or all ten. First-year seminar courses are not required for any program in order to graduate (0%). Only two programs require common intellectual experience courses and learning community courses in order to graduate (4.35%). Five programs required collaborative project courses to graduate (10.87%) and six programs required writing-intensive courses to graduate (excluding the general education requirement of English 1010 and 2010/2020) (13.04%). The minority of programs requires a capstone project or course (34.78%). The majority of programs do not incorporate the above High-Impact Practices, but most programs incorporate the following HIP. Thirty programs required service-learning courses (65.22%), and many offered optional service-learning courses. Excluding GI courses and English 1010 and 2010/2020, thirty-eight programs require at least one HIP to graduate (82.61%). Many programs include optional courses that are HIP in nature, including internships (39 programs, 84.78%).

Response to USHE Cornerstone Study Abroad Capstone At present, our percentages are low on early HIP experiences as noted in NESSE data; 8% of the first year students participated in two or more HIPs (learning community, service-learning, research with faculty), and 43% participated in one HIP. Study Abroad Lack of financial scholarships for Study Abroad; Need to create an office that could move 10,000 students each summer. Capstone In terms of percentages, a greater number of UVU students have a HIP experience in their junior and/or senior years. However, to reach 100%, we would need each and every program to embrace one of the 5 pillars and ask them to embed at least one experience as a mandatory requirement for graduation. At present, NESSE data suggests, of the senior population, 57% participated in two or more HIP, and 29% participated in one HIP.

USHE Memorandum (6 September 2017) Commissioner's Recommendation Based on the national research on High Impact Practices and the survey of High Impact Practices at USHE institutions, the Commissioner recommends the Board of Regents ask institutions to measure student participation in HIPs with the goal that all students participate in one HIP during their first 30 credits of enrollment (not including concurrent enrollment) and one HIP within their major. The Commissioner also recommends the Board establish a HIPs steering committee with representation from the various institutions, named by CAOs, to identify, define, and share best practices with HIPs. The HIPs steering committee may also consider the possibility of convening separate working groups for certain categories of HIPs if there is a need (e.g. for writing intensive courses, first-year experiences, learning communities, etc.), and determine if it might be useful to convene USHE institutions’ Faculty Development Centers, Centers of Institutional Effectiveness, etc. in Statewide conversations.
