Abstract	Millions of students leave college every year before earning a degree. At community colleges, only a third of full-time students graduate within three years. How can school administrators help students stay in school and eventually graduate? Higher education institutions commonly offer students advising services to help them develop the academic skills they need to succeed in school. Some community colleges offer what's known as "enhanced advising." This practice reduces adviser caseloads and offers students more frequent, comprehensive guidance to help them address both academic and personal issues. Research has shown that this holistic approach can improve academic outcomes -- increasing semester-to-semester retention rates and average credits earned. For over two decades, MDRC has partnered with community colleges across the country to design, implement, and evaluate programs that make enhanced advising an integral part of their efforts to increase student success. This memo provides lessons for higher education professionals interested in implementing this approach. The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the challenges that students in low-income communities are facing. Investing in proven interventions like enhanced advising can help these students succeed and also help their communities' long-term recovery. [This memo is adapted from "How to Design and Implement Advising Services in Community Colleges: Lessons from Two Decades of Research and Technical Assistance," for the full brief, see ED609265.] (ERIC).
