  10. Five Components of the Student Retention Framework

  11. Four Stages to Retention Intervention

  12. Stage 1- Pre-Planning • The pre-planning stage provides campus leadership with the information necessary to identify challenges and issues that the campus must face. During this initial stage, the institution must: • Analyze the size and scope of retention issue on campus’ • Identify student needs on campus; • Assess the status and effectiveness of current retention strategies and programs on campus; • Identify institutional resources that may be utilized or redirected; • Identify successful retention strategies at other campuses.

  13. Stage 2 - Planning • The planning stage is the longest stage of the developmental process, as special care must be taken to involve the entire campus in the creation of the program. This is where the buy-in occurs across campus. The planning stage must carefully assess the research conducted in Stage 1, develop a redefined sense of purpose and goals, and develop an appropriate retention plan that meets those goals. The main activities of Stage 2 include: • The refinement or enhancement of the college mission statement and goals; • The development of organizational strategies; • The identification of key stakeholders on/off campus and their roles within the retention process; • The assessment, presentation, and discussion of pre-planning data; • The development of retention program components and operation strategies; and • Development of implementation plan.

  14. Stage 3 - Implementation • The implementation of the retention program should be according to the plan devised in Stage 2. It is critical for the ad­ministration to provide support, both political and financial, during the implementation stage for any unforeseen cir­cumstances and difficulties encountered.

  15. Stage 4 - Program Monitoring • The monitoring of the retention program is an essential practice that must be entrenched in the design of the system. Without the careful planning of an assessment strategy, the true value and effect of the program components can never be measured. The monitoring system should provide ongoing data to all campus personnel involved in the operation of the retention effort. The main practices that must be conducted include: • Data collection and analysis of program components and student performance; • Dissemination of data to stakeholders; and • Ensure that conclusions based on program monitoring are incorporated in program revisions.
