Institutions are piloting targeted re-enrollment and belonging interventions to recover stopouts and boost community college persistence. Practitioners outline three operational steps—identify stopped-out students, streamline reenrollment pathways, and offer targeted financial aid—while researchers report a replicated belonging intervention improved persistence and narrowed equity gaps in California’s community college system. Administrators are translating these findings into practice by integrating outreach, lowering bureaucratic reentry barriers, and embedding short-term financial supports. The practical, evidence-backed interventions offer scalable levers for enrollment recovery and equity, especially as budgets tighten and enrollment volatility rises.
