Effective with the 2017-18 award year, Connecticut's 12 community colleges revised their SAP policy to become more student friendly, utilizing progressive scales and embedding intervention strategies for academically at-risk students to promote successful recovery from poor semesters. What were the roadblocks to making this systematic change? What were the effects of this policy change for students and staff members after one year? Was there a net positive effect on the enrollment and retention of financial aid students?
