The Title V model involves several areas of responsibility within the advisement system:
Randomly selected Liberal Arts students will be assigned to an Educational Planner from the Academic Advisement and Transfer Center as well as a Title V faculty advisor. Faculty members will participate on a voluntary basis only. The Title V advisors will be responsible for advising and tracking the progress of the same group of students until graduation. They will be paid a stipend of $2,000 upon completion of advisement training and will be excused from working during the January registration period the semester following their advisement training workshops.
Title V faculty advisors will only be responsible for their own cohort and will not be responsible for the advisement of walk-in students in their departments (assembly line advising). Meetings between faculty advisors and their advisees will be done by appointment only. They will work in conjunction with the Educational Planners and Peer Advisors to reach students in jeopardy and to assist students during the summer months. A student database (DegreeWorks) will be used to track students' advisement sessions and progress. Blackboard technology will be used to connect faculty advisors to one another and members of the same student cohort throughout the year.
