Report: Stop-Outs Don’t Know About Support Services on Campus

Each year college students stop out of higher education institutions due to financial, academic, and mental health challenges. Most students that stop out report not being aware of student support services available to assist them.  In response, higher education institutions are actively working to increase student awareness of the support services that can assist with student persistence and completion rates. Recommendations include streamlining communication via email or text, increasing awareness of all resources available, addressing student safety, and considering the role of financial aid.
