Understanding Social and Cultural Capital and Hidden Curriculum: Leverage for Success

Understanding institutional values and beliefs allows students and families to recognize how higher education systems are structured                  and the assumptions that guide institutional practices. Developing familiarity with the knowledge required to navigate higher                                      education, including expectations around communication, decision‑making, and engagement, helps families better understand the                          hidden rules that shape access, persistence, and success.
