Information of flexible pathways to graduation without identifying the student as belong to non-math ready (pre-major) or major was an effective means of transforming retention for students. b. An active engagement with the community college leading to pragmatic dual enrollment rather than sequential attainment of an associates degree preceding initiation of college degree plans improves retention c. Communication to students for increased connection with under-represented students is aided when students work directly with students supported by staff over reach out by full time staff.Table 2: Demographics of students 2015-2022
