3. Summary: A study that shows the results of students who
completed student success courses; known as student life
skills, or SLS, with those of students who did not take any
student success courses. Dr. Windham and the team understood
that SLS course completers were more likely to achieve
academic success then the students who did not take SLS
courses Many of the colleges under the Florida Department of
Education have made SLS courses optional, some require only
certain students to take an SLS course, while other colleges
have decided that only students on academic probation are to
take the course. One college actually requires all students,
whether they need remediation or not, to take an SLS course.
