Retention

“We needed a data-driven strategy, rather than just concepts and abstractions. RuffaloCODY’s Retention Model helps us know which students need help most. We’ve seen some really positive results in the years since we started using it.”
─  Sundar Kumarasamy, Vice President for Enrollment Management, University of Dayton

Many institutions study and analyze reasons why students leave their school in the first year, but few have developed a successful action plan for preventing student attrition.

RuffaloCODY’s Retention Model positions your institution to effectively address retention in a proactive way. The model is a three-year, detailed analysis of freshman-to-sophomore attrition on your campus. We use your institution’s historical data and append geodemographic and economic variables to build a statistical model that provides you clarity about who is most at-risk to leave the university.

RuffaloCODY’s Retention Model is timed to allow admissions, financial services, retention, student life, coaches, academic advisors, and other campus partners to collectively take steps to engage at-risk students before they even arrive on campus.

RuffaloCODY’s ESP provides another effective way for your institution to address retention through inquiry management. Learn more.
