fear of enrolling
One of the major reasons I have heard students state why they dont enroll is thier ability to keep up since many have been out of school for a long time. While that may be true, its up to the admissions team to assure them that there are many which are in their same position ,and while the orientation process is being administered, give these individuals an opportunity to link up with others alike , which can decrease the fear thresh hold.
This is true, many times adults who have been out of school for a long time are reluctant to enroll as well as younger students who may have struggled during high school. I always pair up "mature" students with each other if I can, it helps them to get a feeling of belonging. Our program has helped many students who have previously not succeed in a academic setting turn it around and become successfull students.
