Onboarding Spring Admits for Future Success

Overview

Approximately 25% of students begin college at a time other than fall term, yet many institutions don’t reflect this in their onboarding processes. Recent research suggests that students starting in non-fall terms encounter substantially different challenges in campus orientation, socialization, and academic performance. These challenges pose a direct threat to both student retention and success.

The onboarding process for spring admits begins well before the term itself and is critical to building strategies for student success. Join us to learn about current research and hear practical examples for implementing suggested best practices.

Who should attend?

The audience for this program includes professionals at the front lines of onboarding non-fall admits, chiefly orientation/new student services, first- and second-year experience, and transfer department members. Admissions personnel, enrollment managers, and academic support staff will also benefit from the content of this webcast.
