25 Campus Retention & Persistence Initiatives: Targeted Strategies to Engage & Empower Students Through Graduation Binder

“Among all students who enrolled in college for the first time
in fall 2017, 73.8% persisted at any U.S. institution in fall 2018,
while 61.7% were retained at their starting institution,”
and only 58% are projected to graduate within six years.
(National Student Clearinghouse Research Center,
“Persistence & Retention - 2019” (July 2019))

"Too many students leave college without credentials
because life, logistics, and a lack of money got in the way.”
(The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice)

Students bring their struggles with them to your campus — from budget constraints to mental health concerns and more — and these daily life challenges can adversely affect their ability to pursue higher education through graduation.

Taking proactive steps to address student struggles before they transfer or drop out will give them a better chance at achieving their educational goals — and minimize the negative effect a low retention rate can have on your institution’s bottom line.

Plus, a high retention rate signals to prospective students that the living and learning environment at your institution will be conducive to their success and satisfaction.
