Human Factors
My student was on his solo cross country flight from ZZZ; ZZZ1; ZZZ. Upon returning to ZZZ; student experienced a gust on crosswind after touchdown; his wing lifted and airplane ran off the runway into the grass. ZZZ ATC checked in with my student and asked if he was OK or any damage. Student reported OK and no known damage. Received instructions to taxi back to FBO and was able to do so under own power. I called the airport Tower to check in after (as I was on another flight in the general area) and also debriefed and filed report with student. Student was understandably a little shaken up; but is OK.
C172 flight instructor reported his student experienced a runway excursion during a solo flight.
