Abstract | Research generally finds that college students are more likely to complete a program of study if they choose a major that aligns with their interests and goals. Yet many new community college students do not have clear goals. Nearly 40% of community college students report being undecided about their major at the end of their first year (authors' calculations from the 2004/09 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study), and the actual proportion who are truly undecided may be much higher, as students must declare a program of study to qualify for financial aid. This three-part packet is designed to provide guidance to colleges seeking to redesign their new student onboarding practices to better help students choose and enter a program of study. This first part reviews research on why the conventional community college approach to new student onboarding is often unsuccessful in helping students choose and plan a program, and it describes how colleges are rethinking the process as part of larger guided pathways reforms. Part 2 presents findings from Community College Research Center (CCRC) research on what students at two Florida colleges that were early adopters of guided pathways say about reformed new student onboarding practices at their campuses. Part 3 presents a series of discussion and planning activities for colleges seeking to redesign new student onboarding to increase the chances that new students will choose a program that suits them well and develop and begin to follow a well-conceived program completion plan.
