Nontraditional students are an incredible asset to your school, but they require a more nuanced and strategic marketing strategy than traditional students.

Targeting the Technical : Prioritizing Analysis of Student Transcripts in Degree Reclamation Efforts to Improve Student Completion Outcomes

IHEP

by: Sheena A. Kauppila, and Leanne Davis. No one starts on the path to a degree intending not to finish. But between taking one’s first college class and earning a degree, life can change course, and it often does.

I started doing this post on a regular basis several years ago, in response (if I recall) to a colleague talking about their Board of Trustees Chair insisting that "all we need to do" to bring enrollment back to its former level is to get the yield rate up.
