Student Retention. The faculty and administration agree that the faculty, without diminishing their professional commitment to their subject fields, have a lead responsibility to assist with the retention of students in their classes. It is expected that the faculty will work with student support services, provided by the College, to maximize student retention.
Student Retention. The Company shall undertake logistical and basic technical support to retain Students through completion of the Distance Programs.
Student Retention success We will continue to monitor our retention and success rates with a view to maintaining the current levels. All prospective students will have access to initial assessment & guidance together with diagnostic assessments to ensure that they are on the right course and understand the requirements of the course. LCC will replace the discontinued Access to Learning Fund with a hardship fund, funded by the Opportunity funding, in order to provide discretionary assistance in the form of emergency loans and grants for priority groups, where they are at risk of discontinuing their studies or not progressing, due to hardship.
Student Retention. A retention working group will be convened to identify student behaviours and any additional student characteristics other than low participation neighbourhood that are associated with greater risk of withdrawal. A system will then be developed within existing provision to identify and proactively direct students identified as being at risk of withdrawal to the appropriate support professionals. Both phases of this new activity have been identified as milestones. Referrals and outcomes will be monitored once the service has been put in place.
Student Retention. A range of short and medium term measures is already in place to evaluate student support strategy and activity, and these are summarised in Table 6.0 (Appendix 1). The University also submits an annual report on care-leavers to the Xxxxx Xxxxxx Trust to ensure we continue to meet Quality Mark requirements. An evaluation strategy will be built into the new retention measures that we intend to put in place to encourage students that we identify as being at increased risk of withdrawal to access the support that they might need. The evaluation strategy will monitor the rate of uptake and outcomes of targeted support.
Student Retention. We have a strong student retention record which we attribute to our: • embedded personal and academic tutoring; • contextualised study support (one-to-one, workshops, embedded in the curriculum, embedded ASK advisors); • emerging peer assisted learning scheme • close working with our Student Wellbeing Service (and our mental health advisors); • school/departmental disability officers network and community of practice; • Xxxx transition mentors for all UG students, as well as academic mentors and social mentors for students with disabilities • campus environment and first year hall accommodation; • vibrant Students’ Union whose wealth of activities, clubs and societies xxxxxx a sense of belonging to the University and allows students to form alternative support networks; • advice and guidance provided by the Students’ Union officers with responsibility specifically for: disabled students, mature students and XXXX students. In order to ensure that we continue to effectively support all our students, we have reaffirmed our commitment to personal tutoring which has been demonstrated to be successful in supporting student retention. We will ensure that support for retention activities and in particular for disabled students is maintained following the reduction in the Student Opportunity Allocation, which currently funds much of this work. Following the changes to DSA funding we will resource band 1 and 2 non-medical help for a number of categories of disabled students including note takers and professional, academic and social mentors We consider the Reading Bursary Scheme (awarded to eligible students throughout their programme) to be an effective retention measure. We set the bursary amount by assessing the true cost of living for students in Reading and considering the other bursary and maintenance loan amounts available as well as a modest income from part-time work. We believe that the £1,000 per year bursary replaces some supplementary financial support that students from higher household income families would expect from their families. It is clear from our outcomes based evaluation of the Reading Bursary scheme that this is an effective means of supporting students to stay on course18 therefore we will be retaining these bursaries for the foreseeable future. We have clarified that students on a placement year or a year abroad who qualify for an award will be eligible to receive the full amount of the bursary despite paying partial fees for that year.

Student Retention. The institution has seen a significant improvement in the HESA PI showing „projected learning outcomes‟ over the last year, where it has moved from 68.2%, well below its benchmark of 72.5%, to a position of 73.4%, which is very close to the revised benchmark of 73.7%. The institution is fully committed to building upon its success in this regard and achieving further improvements in future. It is also committed to ensuring that the outcomes from students from under-represented backgrounds are equal to those of the overall student population, with an explicit commitment to this being made in the University‟s new strategic plan.
Student Retention. We believe that family partnerships are essential to our ability to carry out our mission of providing students with an equitable and excellent education. It is through family partnerships and ongoing communication with families that we work to retain students. Families are encouraged to reach out to their teachers to share any concerns they have about what is happening at school, and teachers are regularly in contact with families to share moments of joy and success and to intervene early with any concerns. XXXX Xxxxxxxx also has a strong Village that allows families to express what they would like to see in their child’s school community. The Village is a school and family partnership in grades K– 12 that keeps families up-to-date on what is happening with the school and seeks input from families, one of our most important stakeholders. We believe that it takes a village to educate a child. Lastly, we work to keep families informed about what is happening not only at school but also in the community and on campus through weekly newsletters that go out to all families across campus. Through strong communication and strong partnerships and programming, we work to retain students.
Student Retention. The University will use a proportion of its additional fee income to support its Student Experience Programme (SEP). The Programme is closely linked to the University’s Widening Participation Strategy and focuses on the following stages of the student life-cycle: • Transition • Curriculum • Student Support
