Inside Higher Ed, Administrative Holds: Aiding or Preventing Student Persistence?

Cole and Fulton write, “While we’re encouraged by the hard work underway to reform hold policies that often create barriers to student success, our analysis suggests that policy and postsecondary leaders would be well served by developing a deeper understanding of the complexity of the administrative hold landscape. By building a more nuanced understanding of the origins and impacts of administrative holds on students, these leaders and practitioners will be more effective in reviewing and revising those policies that may not support students and often reinforce inequities.”
