How Snead State eased adult learner anxiety—and secured 800 course enrollments
It’s only natural that working adults—many of whom have not stepped foot in a classroom since high school—question their academic abilities and feel intimidated by the college environment.
To help these prospective students overcome their anxiety and drive enrollment, administrators often point to non-credit training programs as a less daunting entry point to college. Despite this guidance, few students end up transitioning from non-credit to for-credit programs. Snead State Community College rethinks the non-credit to for-credit pipeline by offering one free for-credit course to adult learners who complete non-credit training.
