Post-Secondary Advisement Plans

About Post-Secondary Advisement Plans (PSAP), Annual Reporting, and Student Success Plans

A Post-Secondary Advisement Plan is a plan that is created by a school district or charter school that describes the targeted supports, activities, experiences, lessons and advisement that every student will receive from 8^th grade to 12^th grade. The plan is designed to help students make a successful and informed transition to their post-secondary goals.

The Student Success Plan is a student’s plan developed from 8^th to 12^th grades that consists of his/her post-secondary goals that are formed based on the activities, experiences, lessons and advisement that they received. As they enter 12^th grade, these experiences will help them be ready to successfully transition to their post-secondary goals.

Annually, districts and charters submit a Post-Secondary Advisement Plan Report. The report is a reflection of the successes, challenges, and revisions to their plans they propose for the upcoming school year to improve their post-secondary advisement plan.

Check out the specific resources below that will assist Post-Secondary Advisement Planning.

Support for Creating the Annual PSAP Report:

Reports are filed annually based on the original plan submitted in June 2019. Revisions to the plans can be submitted along with the report in any given year. New charters will submit their first report 1 year after submitting their Post-Secondary Advisement Plan.

Key Dates: The Annual PSAP Reports are due June 30^th each year to The Higher Education Office. Annual reports should be sent to: Leigh.Weldin@doe.k12.de.us

For 2020, due to issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual reports deadline is extended to August 15, 2020.
