This report studies the retention practices of over 60
North American colleges and universities, exploring the most
critical factors to retention success as cited by the survey
participants. The comprehensive data in the report covers a
wide array of statistics and trends essential to any
administration's assessment of its own retention policies,
including detailed retention rates for first-year and
part-time students, institutional spending on consultants and
conferences, overall tutoring efforts, and the perceived
impact of various student services on retention success. How
does the current economic climate affect financial aid and
tuition, and how do these, in turn, affect student retention?
What roles do exit interviews play? What about academic
advising and counseling services, or childcare services, or
peer mentoring?
The 116-page report presents data broken out by
enrollment size, public or private school status, and type of
college, offering end users a look at the strategies and
practices of a broad range of institutions. Now
administrators can see which schools track retention rates by
gender, or by declared academic major, by race or ethnicity,
and more. Participants share their success stories as well as
the pitfalls of student retention and their expectations for
the future.
