This practice guide, published by the Institute of Education Sciences and What Works Clearinghouse, presents six evidence-based recommendations for college and university faculty, administrators, and advisors working to improve the success of students academically underprepared for college. Each recommendation includes:

- an overview of the practice,
- a summary of evidence used in support of the evidence rating,
- guidance on how to carry out the recommendation,
- suggested approaches to overcome potential roadblocks, and
- an implementation checklist as guidance for getting started with implementing the recommendation.
