Standards of Student and Faculty Success

A significant and increasing percentage of college students are perceived by faculty as under prepared in the basic academic skills, studyskills, commitment and disposition toward learning needed to succeed in college. Based on the recommendations made by SBCC faculty to promote student success, a self-assessment, self-diagnosis and self-referral instrument was developed to help identify the academic,motivational, affective and situational factors which undermine student success.

The Self-Assessment for Success Screening Inventory-- SASSI was administered to a randomly selected sample of 784 SBCC students to establish norms in 19 areas related to student success. The total SASSI scale score was found to be significantly correlated (r -.53, p < .001) with GPA. Each of the 19 items was also significantly associated with GPA. The findings also indicate that on average 25% of the students surveyed are having significant problems managing the demands and challenges of college, of which 9.2% are having a very difficult time. The SASSI instrument enables a student to assess his or her strengths and areas in need of strengthening. It provides norms and guidelines for self-diagnosis. The one page instrument also list the self-referral resources and services available on campus to promote student success.
