Abstract
As the number of college students enrolled in online courses continues to escalate, it becomes critical that the student support services equally scale. While most institutions invest resources in providing technical support for students at various levels, few provide other types of support such as advising services. This paper describes the creation and implementation of a comprehensive model of online student support services developed and implemented at a large U.S. institution in Houston, TX. This model includes three initiatives: Early Alert Assistance, Online Advising, and Case Management Advising. The model was fully launched in fall 2011. The successes, challenges and next steps are shared in this paper.
