To truly address enrollment challenges, institutions need to apply the same amount of effort to retain students as they do when recruiting them.
Retention is a huge priority in higher education. The overall undergraduate student dropout rate is 40%, and 30% of annual dropouts are college freshmen who leave before sophomore year. To better understand the trends impacting these rates, and to better address those trends and increase student retention, institutions need to implement modern retention systems and strategies.
