Colleges and universities that deployed success coaches were able to contact 27,000 former students and help 3,000 of them ultimately register for courses — with 73% of those students coming from underserved or underrepresented backgrounds.
It’s important for high schools to know the research data for their own graduation rates and student performance. The Clearinghouse’s StudentTracker for High Schools can help administrators.
Institutions must better understand student backgrounds and meet first-generation students where they are. There must be a proactive strategy to reach out to these students and engage them.
The COVID-19: Transfer, Mobility, and Progress Academic Year 2021 Report, the sixth in the series, reflects the pandemic’s full-blown impact on postsecondary students.
The High School Benchmarks report features a special analysis of gap year enrollment for 2020 high school graduates who waited until fall 2021 to enroll in college.
The National Student Clearinghouse’s Verification Services and Transcript Services Systems receive favorable SOC3 and SOC2 security audits.
This report is the first comprehensive report to assess the effects of the pandemic on student transfer during the entire academic year, in which 2.1 million undergraduate students transferred to a college other than their last enrolled institution between July 2020 and June 2021.
With 94% of Clearinghouse institutions reporting, transfer enrollment at community colleges continues to be hit hardest by the pandemic, regardless of student group, gender, race and ethnicity, or age, while public four-year institutions remain the least affected among all sectors.
The Clearinghouse, in collaboration with the Association for Institutional Research, has developed a new series of tutorials to help Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) users better understand and get the most out of their PDP service.
The Clearinghouse is inviting colleges and universities to participate in a pilot project to assess how data and insights may help re-enroll former students.
