A July 2023 report from Tyton Partners found 60 percent of students were unaware of the full scope of support services at their college, indicating a significant gap in how institutions communicate and refer students to resources.
Student readiness has declined, with lower ACT scores, lack of study skills, attendance issues, mental health struggles, and loneliness. The demographics of traditional-aged students have shifted, facing new challenges like pandemic-related learning loss and increased responsibilities outside of academics.
Colleges need to reassess their assumptions about student capabilities and provide more targeted support. Students may not possess basic skills like studying effectively, necessitating a shift in how resources and assistance are offered.
Today's student population is diverse and faces a multitude of challenges, including caregiving responsibilities, mental health struggles, and increased rates of disabilities. Higher education institutions must adapt to this evolving landscape and provide appropriate support services to ensure student success.
