Quality Enhancement Plan
Tennessee State University’s 2021–2026 Quality Enhancement Plan – titled CADENCE – seeks to promote student success through holistic, integrative advising, including improved utilization of academic and student support resources and the integration of educational and career planning.
CADENCE embodies vital steps in a student’s educational journey that are supported by effective advising. The plan implements an expanded concept of academic advising that goes beyond course selection and registration, providing coordinated support for students in the major educational decisions and activities essential for their success. CADENCE focuses on ensuring that students connect with institutional resources early in their matriculation, develop an educational plan, engage purposefully in curricular and co-curricular opportunities, and apply educational experiences toward life and career goals.
