Intensive English Student Success Classes

The Community College Research Center (CCRC) concluded that student success classes benefit the students and that enrollment in these classes, " has a positive marginal effect on a student’s chances of earning a credential, persisting, or transferring" (Zeidenberg, et al., 2007). By time that the Intensive English students enroll for a Student Success course with first-time college students, they have spent at a minimum of two semester terms as a student in Intensive English and are not first-time students – yet the curriculum continues to be geared to that first-time college student.
