Student Persistence, located in the Center for Student Success, helps students reach their goals by addressing barriers to degree completion and supporting equitable student success. In our efforts to support the strategic plan, we:

• Coordinate outreach campaigns that monitor and support the academic success of all students
  

• Initiate academic progress reports (APRs) and coordinate outreach to students who are flagged as being at risk to fail a course

• Provide oversight for the Satisfactory Academic Progress and Petition for Exception processes

• Act as the administrator of Columbia’s online caseload management/student success tool

• Manage Columbia's Student Success Alerts system, which allows staff and faculty to submit notifications when they are concerned about a student. Student Persistence ensures that the proper support person reaches out to each student.
