The New Student ‘Swirl’
Keeping the path to completion steady despite modern student shifts
The traditional journey through higher education is rapidly shifting. “Student swirl" — the concept of students moving between institutions before earning a degree — has increased, encompassing a much broader group of learners, including adult students, dual-enrollment learners and those seeking short-term certificates.
To explore how institutions are evolving to meet these changing needs, InsideTrack sponsored a webinar hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education. A panel of campus leaders discussed real-world strategies for navigating the 4.4% increase in transfer enrollment numbers in order to keep learners on campus and on track.
Panelists from Delaware County Community College, The University of Utah and Washington University in St. Louis also shared how to:
- Rethink the traditional student journey
- Revise academic programs, calendars and practices to adapt to the swirl
- Support the unique paths of all learners
