What if you could harness the power of predictive modeling to identify key risk-factors for attrition? What if you knew the probability of success for each student? What if you could alert advisors when students need assistance and inform them of potential problems before issues arise? What if you had the benefit of expert consulting to help design effective processes for interventions at the right time, for the right students? What if you had the technology and processes to keep students on track for success? You can do it all with Jenzabar Retention, the most comprehensive retention management solution in higher education. Harness the Power of Predictive Modeling When you know each student s probability for success before the term even begins, you can keep them on the right path from the minute they step on campus. Jenzabar Retention s predictive modeling functionality is customized to reflect the unique characteristics of your student population. We analyze your current information and look back as far as three years to identify trends and individual risk factors affecting your retention and graduation rates. After selecting the factors, we assign weight values to each in order to create the Risk Assessment model. The model is then applied to your campus, allowing you to clearly see who is safe, at risk, or at high risk. 2
