Student Attrition in Colleges and Universities

• Probably the most serious problem colleges and
  universities face these days is how to retain
  their students. The fact alone that fewer and
  fewer students enroll each year already makes it
  a considerable feat for administrators to run
  their schools effectively.
• Retained are those who enroll each semester until
  they graduate. They are the full-time students
  who obtain their degrees without academic delays.
  On the other hand, there are Dropouts who enter a
  university and leave without finishing their
  course. And then there are transfers who enter
  school, leave it midway through their course and
  enroll in another school with the intention of
  graduating in that new school.

Reasons behind Student Attrition

• Academic Under preparedness Attrition stemming
  from students being inadequately prepared to
  accommodate the academic demands of college and
  meet minimal academic standards
• Academic Disinterest Attrition triggered by lack
  of student interest in, or enthusiasm for, the
  type of academic learning experience that
  characterizes college coursework (the process of
  course delivery and / or the content of courses)
• Low Initial Commitment Attrition resulting from
  weak initial intent of the student to stay at,
  and graduate from, the particular college he/she
  is attending.

• Isolation Attrition caused by an absence of
  personal and meaningful social contact with other
  members of the college community, resulting in
  feelings of separation and marginalization
• Incompatibility Attrition attributable to poor
  institutional or departmental fit which stems
  from a mismatch between the student's
  expectations, interests, or values and those of
  the prevailing community.
• Inability to afford college

Technology in identifying Student at-risk

• Identifying at-risk students can be a difficult
  task. Since the typical class size per tutor
  continues to grow, it is hard for them to truly
  know their students. Also, many legal issues
  and battles limit the tutors from knowing their
  students at a personal level.
• New technologies can provide meaningful learning
  experiences for all students, especially those
  at-risk of educational failure. Now, with the
  introduction of the Early Warning System, the
  tutor can set up rules to flag students
  performance, attendance, and other key course
  events that are required for student success and
  the counselors can implement effective
  intervention strategies.

Early Warning System

• Early Warning System enables colleges and
  universities to identify at-risk students early
  enough to provide effective interventions and
  resources, minimizing student attrition.
• The Early Warning System has a proprietary
  statistical algorithm for analysis of historical
  student data to identify single and composite
  factors that are indicators of risk.
• Educational Institutes can create personalized
  intervention strategies and success coaching
  workflows to ensure that at-risk students receive
  effective support. The Early Warning Systems
  empowers Higher Education Institutes to
  efficiently provide needed support to at-risk
  students and maximize student success.

Benefits of Early Warning System in Higher
Education

• Early Warning System helps instructors recognize
  when a performance problem is emerging or
  becoming more serious
• Instructors create rules that determine when the
  Early Warning System generates a warning for a
  student's performance
• Rules are created by instructors and can be based
  on a test score, calculated column, due date, or
  course access
• Instructors use this rule-driven communication
  tool to send email messages to students and their
  Observers when Early Warning System rule criteria
  are met

9

• The instructor can communicate a warning in an
  email message to the student only, to a parent or
  advisor that is assigned as an Observer, or both
• The Notification History creates a record for
  each Early Warning message sent
