Student Completion and Retention

Goals

Reduce online student dropout rates and increase student completion rates by promoting completion activities and data analysis. Disseminate student, instructor and institutional strategies which can help improve completion rates. Evaluate the usefulness of existing data, data analysis, and analytics software for these practices.

Completion Conference

Host an annual completion/best-practices conference, along with a train-the-trainer, two-day institute for faculty, staff, and administrators. The objective of the conferences is to develop and share a list of completion strategies. Information about the 2021 Completion Conference.
