2020 Spring Webinar Series - Using FAST Student to Track COVID-19’s Impact on Registration And Retention

There are so many unknowns when it comes to retention and persistence. Will your students return to you in the fall? Will COVID-19 no longer threaten us by then, or will we see a resurgence of infections and mandates for online education will continue until there are better treatments, herd immunity, and maybe even a vaccine? If students aren’t on campus to physically see and meet with their advisors and the giant “it’s time to register” banner that greets them every day, will you still meet your retention goals? It is essential to track registration for the upcoming term on a weekly basis and to communicate within the application to your students via text and email.
