Pre-Start Retention
Dedicated Success Coaching for Higher Start Rates
The transition between acceptance and enrollment can be a crucial, yet often overlooked, stage in a student’s journey. This is your chance to build lasting relationships and set the foundation for their academic success. Yet, with limited resources, providing personalized support during this critical phase can be challenging.
Building Relationships with Students
Our dedicated success coaches go beyond simply providing information. They proactively engage with admitted students, building genuine connections with each student, fostering a sense of belonging and support from the very beginning. This personalized approach allows coaches to:
- Address individual questions and concerns related to academics, financing or any other aspect of enrolling at your institution.
- Develop personalized action plans to help students seamlessly navigate the enrollment process and feel confident entering their new environment.
- Connect students with relevant resources and ensure they feel supported throughout their academic journey.
