Spotlight on Student Challenges: Two Key Surveys

This month, we're highlighting two important surveys aimed at helping institutions better understand and address barriers to student success:

• Some College, No Credential Survey This survey explores the experiences of students who stopped or dropped out without earning a credential. It examines the reasons behind their decisions, contributing factors, and potential ways institutions can support re-enrollment efforts.
• Non-Matriculation Survey Focused on prospective students who were admitted but chose not to enroll, this survey identifies the reasons behind their decisions and highlights opportunities for institutions to re-engage these students.

Both surveys provide valuable insights to help institutions adapt to students' needs and enhance support strategies.

Learn more about these surveys and our Campus Support Services, or reach out to us directly at [email protected] to get started.
