Case Study #1  The student is currently on academic probation and needs a CSEP for a Financial Aid Reinstatement Appeal. The student wants to complete his Administration of Justice AS-T and transfer to a CSU. The student has attended West Los Angeles College for two semesters but is considering dropping out because he feels discouraged.

Student Engagement  What drew you to this major?  Are you a first-generation college student?  Do you currently work? If so, how many hours per week?  Outside commitments/health concerns?  How do you prioritize your time?  What obstacles did you encounter last semester that prevented you from passing your courses?  What would you have done differently?

Growth Mindset  Develop time management skills by prioritizing school over other commitments to invest in your future  Adjust your CSEP to take a part-time load and take online courses  Seek help from instructors, counselors, classmates, campus resources

Case Study # 2  The student is new to West Los Angeles College and is a first-generation college student. The student is unfamiliar with the higher education system and is undecided regarding her major. She feels anxious about starting college.

Student Engagement  What subjects did you enjoy most in high school? What are your interests?  Describe your values.  Describe your dream job.  Are you a first-generation college student?  Have you ever done an informational interview?

Growth Mindset  Learn about different pathways by meeting with your counselor; develop a CSEP (roadmap)  Ask questions to improve your understanding of college policies  Visit instructors during office hours for specific questions/concerns and the Learning Resource Center for academic support
