Dr. Adam Troy:
In general, institutions need to be more proactive rather than waiting for problems to occur on campus.Administrators need to be tracking indicators of attrition from the beginning and even prior to enrollment, and early warning systems need to be more complex than simply waiting for the first poor test grade to come in or several missed classes.For one of my clients, my enrollment survey of their accepted students indicated that over 50 students had thoughts of transferring to another collegeâ€"before they even set foot on the campusâ€"information the school would never have been aware of.If schools use these tools or develop their own, there is much potential to be proactive about retention issues.
