Challenge

Nova Southeastern University wanted to leverage their data assets to improve student retention and optimize student welfare, particularly aiming at students within their undergraduate program.

Solution

Aible helped identify students who were most likely to leave. This helped the center for academic and student achievement target and prioritize their retention efforts to the most at-risk students.

Outcome

Aible helped identify ways to potentially lower student attrition by 17%

"During a one hour meeting we went from a raw dataset, to exploring insights in the data automatically highlighted by Aible, to creating and even deploying a predictive model. The collaboration with academic and financial aid advisors helped us further optimize the models and made them more useful - but we went end-to-end from raw data to deployed model in such a short amount of time.”
