Whether it’s a “tune-up” or a major overhaul, Finish-in-Four can help your college achieve permanent change that improves student graduation rates.

Finish-in-Four provides services that:

 ·     Analyzes college effectiveness in ten key performance areas that have critical impact for retaining students until graduation;

 ·       Provides consultation on what the college leadership can do to immediately improve performance as measured by quantifiable outcomes; and

 ·       Mentors/guides faculty and staff who will implement new or improved processes to increase graduation rates.

 The ten key performance areas include:
        1.        marketing and outreach;
        2.        recruiting strategies;
        3.        financial aid packaging; 
        4.        admissions practices;
        5.        advising and placement;
        6.        program and curriculum review;
        7.        nontraditional student programs—transfer, evening, distance education;
        8.        career counseling;
        9.        process friendly environment; and
        10.      student life.
 
We utilize a quality improvement philosophy that emphasizes measurable performance and assigned accountability for outcomes.  

Written reports are presented to college leadership for each sequential sequence of the engagement—analysis, listing of suggested improvements, and mentoring implementation. 

Because we emphasize quantifiable benchmark comparisons and trend analysis, we can help colleges determine where corrective emphasis should be placed to reach maximum outcome results. 

Establishing quantifiable performance outcomes provides a means to monitor how well efforts
are succeeding and where efforts need to be directed.
