The ASR SWAT team has been busy reviewing nominations and using analytics to help students graduate. Made up of members across ASR, the team focuses on removing financial and administrative barriers that prevent some students from graduating on time. Completion funds, financial aid appeals, and billing exceptions are some of the ways the SWAT team helps.
In 2017-2018, 42 students were awarded $65,761. The largest award was $4,000, the smallest was $185, and the median was $1,500. Many of the students who received these awards were in a high need group financially and close to graduation.
The team looks to increase their use of student data analytics in the coming year. One example of how they’ve used data: identify students with past-due balances who are at risk of having their future enrollment canceled but might otherwise graduate in the next term. This is a great example of how to use our expertise to help students succeed. Good work, all!
