For traditional, online, and graduate student populations, guiding more students to graduation gets to the heart of the higher education mission. It also directly supports the financial health of colleges and universities. But students today face more roadblocks to success than ever—academic, financial, and emotional pressures that can lead them to withdraw from college.
RNL is leading the way to meet these challenges with a new and unique approach to student success that is strategically focused, data driven, and serves the whole student. Watch this webinar to learn how this approach can help you:
- Target cohorts to understand—before classes even begin—which students are more at risk and how to connect them with the support they need to succeed.
- Optimize your outreach using actionable analytics that make it easier than ever to take proactive actions and make your early interventions even more successful.
- Provide students immediate access to mental health and wellness support—64% of students who withdrew from college indicated it was because of a mental health issue.
You will come away from this webinar with a clear solution for guiding more students to graduation while increasing the enrollment and fiscal health of your institution.
