According to a report released by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, the count of stopped-out students rose to 40.4 million during the period July 2020 to July 2021, indicating a 3.6% surge from the previous year. Despite the rise in numbers, a reduced count of students reenrolled in colleges to attain a credential for the academic year 2021-2022. The report suggests that colleges and states are missing out on opportunities to reignite engagement among stopped-out students.
