The Bronco One Stop is a centralized space for students to access standard student services to strengthen their ability to navigate Fayetteville State University. Bronco One Stop aims to enhance the student experience with the application process, academic records, financial aid, making payments, speaking with an advisor to register for classes, gaining assistance with degree planning, receiving academic support, and navigating university resources.

Fayetteville State University Advising Center's mission is to promote student success by empowering students to achieve their academic and career aspirations. The Advising Center delivers high-quality services by providing support with educational planning, course selection, resource awareness, and success strategies.

The primary purpose of this position is to support the academic success and retention of each incoming first-time freshman cohort throughout their first academic year through proactive monitoring, early intervention, and targeted academic advising. Using a developmental and data-informed advising model, the Freshman Retention Advisor monitors the academic progress of first-time freshmen, identifies and intervenes with students demonstrating academic risk, and provides intensive advising and academic recovery support to students who earn below a 2.0 GPA after their first semester.

The position assists students with developing individualized academic success plans, connecting with appropriate university resources, improving academic performance, and maintaining progress toward continued enrollment. Through consistent monitoring, intervention, and follow-up, the position is designed to improve freshman academic performance, persistence, and Fayetteville State University's fall-to-fall freshman retention rate.

This position is funded by non-state funds and has been designated time limited. Continuation of this position is contingent upon the continuing availability of those funds.
