It is critical to capture this group of students and facilitate their enrollment in classes for the subsequent semester prior to them leaving the campus for a break (winter or summer). Initiating a visible registration campaign led by faculty and supported by the rest of the institution will help promote and secure registration by students for the next semester. This will strengthen student success through continuous enrollment and will positively impact enrollment.

Training provides opportunities for faculty to ask questions and help develop effective early alert programmatic practices.
