University of Mount Olive Quality Enhancement Plan
The University of Mount Olive's "Focus to Finish" Quality Enhancement Plan aims to improve adult undergraduate students' writing and research skills over a five-year period. This initiative, required for SACSCOC reaffirmation, builds upon previous efforts to enhance persistence, retention, and graduation rates. Key student learning outcomes include proficiency in complex writing projects, academic research, and argumentative writing. Interventions involve virtual directed self-placement, virtual peer writing coaching, and leveraged library instruction services, supported by faculty development and intentional course design.
