Seminole State College High Impact Practices Resources

Welcome to our High Impact Practices resource collection! This page was created to share our journey of building and implementing High Impact Practices at Seminole State College, with the goal to hopefully make it easier for others who are trying to do the same. 

Our goal is simple: share what we've created so you don't have to start from scratch. Whether you're just beginning to explore HIPs or are further along in having institutional support to get started, we hope you find something here that saves you time, sparks an idea, or helps you move your own work forward to help impact a wider network of students.

Sample completed forms are included on our website under the “Getting Started” tab. This word document is created in a Microsoft form that includes branching and is what is completed my our faculty to request HIPs Course Designation. The submissions are then reviewed by the HIPs Ambassadors, Academic Leadership Team, and any inconsistencies are reviewed by the Coordinator, HIPs and FCTL Director.
