Create Connection Points To Improve Engagement & Retention
Commuter students seek access to college resources in different ways than residential students. Off-campus students are a unique group – and a one-size-fits-all approach may not provide the support they need. Creating intentional pathways to increase their satisfaction, engagement and retention will help them feel connected and succeed.
Gather your staff and colleagues on October 21, 2025, when our expert presenter will show you and your team the intentional and concise communication and targeted programming and strategic outreach required to better serve your commuter and off-campus students’ unique needs – all which can be completed with minimal budget and resources.
Establish opportunities for connection, mentorship and awareness about the support services and opportunities available to help them thrive at your institution.
Topics Covered
Gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you:
- Better meet the unique needs and differentiate between commuter and off-campus student subgroups.
- Create strategies through targeted programs and support services to help them be engaged, satisfied and successful.
- Tailor orientation and onboarding programs to the off-campus student experience highlighting the resources available to students to maximize their time on campus utilizing the resources afforded to them.
- Streamline communication to ensure that announcements and opportunities are targeted to off-campus students in the same way they are to on-campus students so they feel supported as they work toward completing their academic goals.
- Help students make smart decisions about their living arrangements, so they don’t end up in a situation that impedes their academic progress and success.
- Develop a tenant education program with incentives to complete the program to educate on city and university policies when living off-campus, as well as how to be a good neighbor when living in a community.
