Keep students in college, encourage freshman success, prevent college drop outs: COLLEGE RETENTION

In the U.S. today, a high percentage of college students drop out before their second year. Nationally, fully 35% of college freshman do not return for their sophomore year, and only about 35% of freshmen ever graduate. To increase student retention for colleges and universities, Pikes Peak Learning provides an interactive learning, collaboration, and personal management system that:

Facilitates collaboration between students and academic advisors, enhances the support so critical to student success, and delivers new transformational processes and systems for overworked advisors,
Provides a personal management system for students to increase their effectiveness, manage goals, immerse in their subject areas, document successes, build assets, and prepare for the real world.
Includess the best aspects of advanced versions of FutureSelves, Peak Readiness, Peak Purpose, and Peak Portfolio, integrated with college academic, advising, and class management systems.

This Student Retention System provides a comprehensive program to encourage students to remain in college, succeed in higher education, and become prepared to thrive in the real world. By providing students a clear purpose, the adult attention so crucial to success as freshman, and skills for better self management, students are encouraged to return to school and create a more satisfying higher education experience.

The program targets students predisposed to putting in the extra effort to make the most of their college experience, and also targets those who need extra attention but may not seek help on their own (undeclared students, those on academic probation, transfer students, and others).
