Abstract
A retention management system identifies, analyzes, and evaluates student information collected by the enterprise resource planning systems and learning management systems. The retention management system applies an algorithm to collected information and locates students that are struggling before they are lost to attrition. The retention management system also provides tools to allow personnel at the academic institution to communicate with students, implement plans to correct current problems with student, and to predict and prevent future problems.
