Feedback on student issues and status must be easily available to faculty and all stakeholders
In our school, faculty must search through the master database and review spreadsheets to determine if a student is having difficulties in other classes or has transportation, health or other issues. There's no "feedback loop" to instructors and others responsible for student retention. This makes retaining students time-consuming and frustrating. Resolving student or school issues quickly is the key to boosting retention, but it takes timely information to take action.
