Retention
The purpose of the Office of Retention is to retain students by providing integrated academic support services and comprehensive resources that foster academic success. Promoting the growth and development of our students and collaborating with faculty and staff are central to all of our efforts. Clearly, these alliances generate appropriate student-centered guidance and support.
While the Office of Retention will use a host of strategies and tactics to increase retention rates, the following are the structural foundation of program implementation:
- encouraging student engagement,
- fostering learning opportunities,
- bolstering academic support,
- endorsing student goals, and
- Implementing proactive retention strategies.
Students will be reminded that the work required in order to graduate is strenuous, and can sometimes be overwhelming. However, the services offered through the Office of Retention are formulated in a premise that students are at the core of our institution. For that reason, we are here to be of exceptional service to our students. ECSU is also dedicated to helping students overcome obstacles that may challenge student success (academic, social, financial, or personal).
