Webinar hosted by CSRDE- The Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange.
Facilitated by: David S. Hood & Danielle Insalaco-Egan of Monclair State University.
State University has identified a retention trend downward for undergraduates over the last three years, with undecided students leaving the institution at higher rates than other populations. Further, Ruffalo Noel-Levitz data has demonstrated students’ dissatisfaction with advising services across the campus. In late 2017 Montclair State determined that a dramatic shift would be required to address these issues, and so launched University College, an academic home for undecided students, and created a decentralized advising model, Advising 2025, for the University. Montclair State developed large-scale advising reforms that are expected to improve retention outcomes, including redesigning all advising services as well as the first-year seminar to ensure that all students have a consistent, high-quality learning experience. In particular, an intentional approach to the transient nature of undecided students was developed as a retention strategy; University College gives them a pathway to success via a network of caring professionals and high-touch programming and supports. The investment in University College places undecided students at the center of Montclair State’s retention efforts, and early data demonstrates that a focus on dedicated, proactive advising and other supports is leading to greater engagement and satisfaction.
