Five Senses of Success
Students contacted by Student Success Program are assessed for their strength against the five
domains contributing to students’ capacity to engage and succeed in their learning at RMIT
(Lizzio, 2006).

The Student Success Program increases the sense of ‘Connectedness’ by:

 employing senior students with previous leadership experience who model successful
attitudes and learning practices;
 encouraging students to connect with others by joining in organised student activities;
 normalising and encouraging students to engage with their teaching staff.
The Student Success Program develops a student’s sense of ‘Purpose’ by:

 connecting them with senior students in their discipline;
 strengthening the connection between their study and their vocational direction;
 referring them to the Careers Service for advice.
The Student Success Program increases a student’s sense of ‘Capability’ by:

 providing effective learning strategies;
 referring students to learning supports provided by their School and Student Services;
 clarifying with students what is expected of them to succeed at RMIT.
The Student Success Program improves a student’s sense of ‘Resourcefulness’ by:

 showing where to find resources and support on campus and online;
 showing how to ‘navigate’ their way through RMIT procedures;

 advising on how to achieve a balance between study and other commitments.
The Student Success Program enhances a sense of ‘Academic Culture’ by:

 enlisting peers to tell students ‘how things are done’ at RMIT and in their School;
 communicating messages that increase students’ identity as an independent learner in
Higher Education.
A ‘Whole-of-Person’ Approach is necessary

It is necessary to take a ‘whole-or-person’ approach to student success, as students’ personal,
social and academic circumstances impact on their learning engagement and performance.
Students benefit from a range of personal and academic supports.
