Engagement to Enrollment
State Approaches to Support Returning Adult Learners
Adult learners with Some College, No Credential (SCNC) frequently experience barriers to enrollment when they return to college, including administrative and financial challenges such as student account holds and past due balances. While many states have passed laws that prohibit or limit the use of transcript holds in recent years, new regulations from the Department of Education limit transcript withholding nationally as of July 2024. With this policy change as a foundation to the session, leaders from three states that have taken unique approaches to re-engaging and re-enrolling adult learners with SCNC will share their experiences and present innovative solutions to create opportunities for students and institutions.
