Abstract

The University of Southern Queensland has developed a practitioner led third space advising approach to support commencing students to transition into their studies successfully. This approach utilises the submission of the first assessment item as a catalyst for proactive outreach. The design of this outreach includes initial collaboration with academic staff to understand student learning needs and identify assessment support resources. An inclusive developmental advising and coaching approach is then used to outreach to students before and after submission of the first assessment item to develop student-directed solutions to build academic and personal capabilities and persistence. Findings show that this approach has an impact on assessment submission, successful course completion, and achievement.
