Universities and community colleges are increasingly recognizing the value of catering to non-traditional and returning students. These individuals often have only a few credits left to complete their degree, making them a valuable source of new revenue and enhanced enrollment figures.

However, effectively reaching out to these students and guiding them to graduation requires a sophisticated and proactive approach. This is where FlightPath, the innovative advising and student success platform, can play a pivotal role.

Why Focus on Non-Traditional and Returning Students?

Non-traditional students, including adult learners, working professionals, and those returning to complete unfinished degrees, represent an untapped reservoir of potential revenue for your institution and student success in your community. These students have already invested in their education and often only need a few more credits to achieve their goals. By targeting these individuals, institutions can increase enrollment without the extensive costs associated with recruiting new students from scratch.

How FlightPath Supports Your Efforts

1. Intelligent Reporting for Targeted Outreach

   FlightPath’s robust analytics and reporting tools enable administrators to identify former students who are close to completing their degree. Through advanced data analytics of your existing data, the platform can pinpoint those who have accumulated coursework but have yet to finish their degree.

2. Automated Communication Channels

   Effective communication is crucial for re-engaging returning students. FlightPath simplifies this process by automating personalized outreach. The platform can send tailored emails and texts to former students, updating them on their remaining credits and providing information on how they can re-enroll. These automated messages ensure that your communications are timely and relevant, keeping the students engaged and informed.

3. Precise Credit Calculations

   One of the most significant barriers for returning students is understanding how close they are to graduation. FlightPath is designed to eliminate this uncertainty by providing clear, accurate assessments of how many credits/hours are needed to graduate.
