Improve Student Success and Increase Completion Rates with TargetX Retention Suite
Execute Your Retention Strategy. See Real Results.
Scale advising efforts to build trusted relationships with students and increase student success across campus.
Become a nonstop shop for students’ needs by implementing a service-based approach to retention. With an early alert system based on specific criteria unique to your institution, you can identify students who need your help the most in real-time. For instance, success counselors can receive an alert every time a student requests his or her transcripts — allowing them to be proactive, rather than reactive, in their outreach.
You can even create workflows to trigger call campaigns based on a student’s actions (or lack thereof) to prevent at-risk students from slipping through the cracks. Empower counselors to better personalize their communications with students and support pathways with a complete history of a student’s activities and touchpoints, all in one place.
When students reach out first, make it easy for them to get the help they need with a dynamic, walk-in management queue that automatically sends a text message to alert a student it’s their turn to see a counselor. Or, enable students to make appointments ahead of time with a sleek, mobile-first scheduling platform that displays your staff’s availability and syncs with the CRM.

Continuously deliver the level of communication and personalization that students expect.
Your communication plan shouldn’t end once students are enrolled — in fact, 1 in 8 students who enroll at a given institution transfer to a different school by the following Fall. Continue to deliver the level of personalized communication that students expect from the recruitment process so that they feel connected to your campus through matriculation.
Send 1:1 texts to your current student population to provide reminders about FAFSA deadlines and upcoming course registration dates to show them you care about their success at your institution. Invite current students to join a private, mobile community so they can connect with peers and faculty to form lasting relationships from the palm of their hand.
By staying connected with current students through engaging, personalized communications you provide a better overall experience for them and increase their likelihood to persist.
