A Comprehensive System for Promoting Retention & Graduation

With competition for students getting tougher and university and college budgets growing tighter, the need for improving undergraduate graduation and retention rates has never been more important.

Best practices are critical, and in this Magna Online Seminar on CD, Douglas L. Robertson, Ph.D., helps you you discover the methods used by a large, public metropolitan research university (44,000 students) to boost its retention and graduation rates.  

You’ll also discover how these best practices can be applied to all different types of institutional types and contexts, including how your college or university should be:

• Helping students with early identification of their appropriate majors
• Creating clear academic paths to graduation in those majors
• Providing immediate feedback on whether or not students are on the right academic path
• Supporting students with systems to help them stay on track
• Providing intrusive as well as developmental advising
• Using technology to provide effective self-advising for students

By the end of this professional development seminar, you will have identified the major issues related to setting up the kind of advising systems that help increase retention and improve on-time graduation.  The seminar will also be filled with helpful recommendations, such as:

• Finding ways to quickly connect students to an academic home
• Standing the admission paradigm on its head and providing meaningful academic advising and career development prior to admission
• Outlining to students what they need to do to succeed

More importantly, you discover effective ways to implement the necessary changes at your institution.
