This note describes the methods used, with relative success, by the Universidad Alberto Hurtado (UAH) to receive first-year students and decrease failure at the beginning of university life. The strategy emphasizes two criteria: 1) understanding the success of students as the university's responsibility; and 2) making personal interactions with the students an irreplaceable underpinning of the educational relationship.
The central strategy employed to receive and have new students form part of the university is the educational guidance and support work provided by the academic coordinators of the different educational programs. Other actions are also described, such as the availability of study programs consisting of two years of baccalaureates at the beginning of university life and a special strategy to reverse eliminations.
