Support and resources for learners

Success advisors

Success Advisors (SAs) are available to Nexford learners 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through email, chat, and video conferencing services.

The primary role of SAs is to assist enrolled learners with such advising issues as goal setting, time management, study skills, building plans of study, navigating Nexford’s online resources, and developing broader support networks in and outside the university. SAs also provide a layer of personal support, checking in with learners who may be experiencing personal difficulties and, in general, taking a holistic approach to advising them.

SAs have access to data analytics pertaining to learner progress, which enable them to assist learners with academic difficulties such as: unsatisfactory academic progress or under-engagement in coursework. In addition to serving as a resource to whom learners can proactively reach out, SAs also monitor a learner’s academic progress and, in coordination with course faculty, devise appropriate outreach/intervention plans.

Nexford University has a dedicated group of Success Advisors to guide learners from Orientation through the successful completion of the first three courses in their program. After this period, learners will be supported by the rest of the Success Advising team who will provide support through graduation.

 

Learners are encouraged to reach out to the advising team by emailing success@nexford.edu.

Career advisors

Career advising is a key component of Nexford’s learner success approach. Nexford’s career advising merges technological and traditional approaches. Nexford utilizes web-based big-data analytics on both global and local employment trends to understand future areas of employment growth. Nexford feeds this information into our curricular design and provides it to learners for their academic planning purposes.

Faculty advising

Faculty provide learners with course-based advising, answering questions about course materials. They also assist learners in planning their capstone projects, providing them with timely and substantive feedback. Associate Professors evaluate capstone projects, assessing the level of learners’ overall learning in each course, and assisting learners whose work does not meet passing standards to close any learning gaps. Teaching Assistants also provide additional grading and advising support in certain courses.

Disability resource advisors

Nexford University provides equal access to learners with documented disabilities, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008. Nexford prohibits unlawful discrimination on the basis of disability, and takes action to prevent such discrimination by providing reasonable accommodations to learners with documented disabilities. Nexford does not actively solicit disability information from prospective or enrolled learners.

The university understands that the decision to disclose a disability is a highly personal one, and respects the right of learners not to disclose. Nonetheless, we strongly encourage learners with documented disabilities to consider discussing any concerns with Nexford’s Disability Resource Services so that they can learn about their options and, should they so decide, to submit any necessary documentation. The university provides qualifying learners with the accommodations they are entitled to. Disability Resource Services assists qualifying learners.
