Students requesting to leave
Given our focus on retention, we have been working to enhance the data that we gather from our students who request to leave the university.
By enhancing this data, we will be better able to identify areas for improvement and targeted interventions.
For many students the decision to withdraw is based on multiple factors and our eVision Task for processing such requests now allows us to capture this richer information.
Please see the updated information about processing requests to leave here.
The categories that can now be captured are:
