Dual enrollment is more than early access to college credits; it’s a critical pathway for enrollment growth, student readiness, and long-term retention. Yet many institutions struggle to fully support dual enrollment students, whose needs often fall between high school and college systems.

This full-day virtual strategy workshop will focus on strengthening dual enrollment through intentional recruitment, readiness support, and retention strategies. From building high school partnerships to orienting students, engaging families, and training faculty, we’ll explore real-world models that improve outcomes and ease institutional strain.

Whether you’re launching a new program or scaling an existing one, join us to gain tools, templates, and expert guidance that help dual enrollment students thrive and stay.

How have other schools leveraged reporting?
  • One of our partners, College of Southern Nevada, used StudentLingo to measure learning outcomes. in a study, one class had access to StudentLingo and the other cohort did not. 92% of the cohort with access to StudentLingo earned a whole letter grade higher than the cohort without StudentLingo.
  • A lot of our partners use the data to justify funding for grants, operating dollars, or for new program development.
  • The evaluation data is particularly useful in identifying what type of learning students prefer and the qualitative takeaways from viewing the workshop.
  • Some of our partners use the data to connect with their student information system, like Banner or Peoplesoft. 
  • I think a great way to get started on how you want to use the data is to ask yourself some questions:
    1. How will I know if StudentLingo was successful?
    2. What do I hope students will gain from access to StudentLingo?
    3. What data is important for me to know in order to show that StudentLingo is a worthwhile purchase?
