There are many elements
of a successful student retention program, but one of the
most important is to address a student’s affective needs.
The feelings a student
confronts at that moment when he/she decides to drop or withdraw
from a class at your University/
college.
The
Stop Form is meant to intervene at that
emotional moment when a student arrives at your Registration office
prepared to fill out the drop form and to drop his/her class.
At that crucial moment,
the visual impact of the Stop Form
will cause the student to stop for a moment and consider
what he/she is doing.
This hesitation may
lead him/her to check one of the boxes on the
Stop Form to request a counselor or a
member of the Registration Department to call to help the student find
an answer to his/her difficulty.
The Stop Form
is designed to make the decision
to drop more difficult.
If a student has once confronted the form and that moment of
reckoning with him/her self, the student may not want to repeat that
experience again.
Surveys have shown that
on average one in three college freshmen transfers/or drops classes
before ever becoming a sophomore.
Many institutions have found how quickly this loss of students
translates to a drop in enrollment.
Let us help you close
the gates on the revolving door syndrome.

class.
