Colleges are deploying low‑cost behavioral interventions and targeted re‑enrollment strategies to lift persistence. A replicated belonging intervention in the California Community College system improved retention and narrowed GPA gaps for minoritized students, offering a scalable model for equity‑minded student success work. Meanwhile, re‑enrollment guidance emphasizes three operational steps for adult learners: prioritize outreach to institutional stopouts, simplify reenrollment and registration processes, and offer targeted financial assistance. Administrators say combining psychological supports with administrative simplification produces measurable returns on persistence.
