Paul, what level of success has your retention team had? It would seem that with this much attention and discussion you should have seen a significant improvement in student success.

Thanks, Cynthia. Do you have students who withdraw before the end of the academic period because they are failing, and then ask to re-enroll? Is this allowed?

Craig, do all the instructors for the same course create the same expectations?

Paul, do you have a sense that the students actually read the course description documents? In my experience that's too much work; they only review the descriptions if they're dissatisfied. Hope I'm wrong.

Shula, do you have a data base of information about jobs for students to explore? Do you use any evaluations to try to connect interests/personality traits with the requirements of a job?

Cynthia, are academic advisors faculty members or support staff? Does the student keep the same advisor the whole way through the course?

Tracy, are the clinics held at your site so you can observe multiple students during a shift? What are some of the areas that you evaluate? Do the students sign off on the daily review?

Roshally, how frequently do you upgrade equipment to reflect changes in the industry? Some equipment is very sophisticated and expensive. Do you use simulators in place of these pieces?
