Retention Tools
As this is a different year and students are able to drop fall term courses until November 2, we encourage you to intervene early and start conversations with students who may be experiencing difficulties or are not engaging in course activities. In an effort to help, we have attached a graphic (below) that faculty members could include in an email to these students as a conversation starter, as well as a slide with resources for students that could be used in classes or loaded into onQ.
