After Access to EDUCATION, the Most Significant Obstacle to a Minority
Student’s Survival in a Global Society is:

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT RETENTION (& ATTRITION)
Wide Spread Interest
Minority Student Rates, particularly Minority Male Retention Rates Continuously Lag Behind White Students
Retention Rates Have Changed Very Little over the Past 30 yrs
Cost of Attrition = Loss of Revenue
“Retention & Success Begins At or Before the College Door”
Strengthening the Academic Outcomes of Minority Students Using Existing College Resources
Innovative Educators WebinarMarch 31, 2009
Cost of Attrition
For a single student taking 12 credit hour per semester:
12 credit hours X $80/credit hour = $960.004 semesters @12 credits/semester = $3840.00
Multiply by attrition rate for first-time freshman of 33%(national attrition average) (For MCC – 3,000 first-time students) $3840 X 1,000 = a loss of $3,840,000 over 4 semesters

Other Costs of Attrition

Cost of recruitment of a replacement student

Innovative Educators WebinarMarch 31, 2009
Communication is a process in which participants create and share information with one another to reach a mutual understanding.
Diffusion is the “process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over a period of time among the members of a social system”.
An innovation is “an idea, practice, or object that is perceived to be new by an individual or other unit of adoption”.
Rogers, 1995

RECOMMENDATIONSfor
The Role of Academic and Non-Academic Factors
in Improving College Retention
“Retention & Success Begins At or Before the College Door”
Strengthening the Academic Outcomes of Minority Students Using Existing College Resources
Innovative Educators WebinarMarch 31, 2009
1. Determine student characteristics and needs, set priorities among these areas of need, identify available resources, evaluate a variety of successful programs, and implement a formal comprehensive retention program that best meets institutional needs.
2. Take an integrated approach in retention efforts that incorporates both academic and non-academic factors into the design and development of programs to create a socially inclusive and supportive academic environment that addresses the social, emotional, and academic needs of students
“Retention & Success Begins At or Before the College Door”
Strengthening the Academic Outcomes of Minority Students Using Existing College Resources
Innovative Educators WebinarMarch 31, 2009
3. Implement an early alert, assessment, and monitoring system
based on HSGPA, ACT Assessment scores, course placement tests, first semester college GPA, socioeconomic information, attendance records, and non-academic information derived from formal college surveys and college student inventories to identify and build comprehensive profiles of students at risk of dropping out.
4. Determine the economic impact of their college retention
programs and their time to degree completion rates through a cost-benefit analysis of student dropout, persistence, assessment procedures, and intervention strategies to enable informed decision-making with respect to types of interventions required—academic and non-academic, including remediation and financial support.
