Why Do Students Become Disengaged?

College students are experiencing record levels of anxiety and burnout.

In every term, you can be certain that some of your students will be struggling with life challenges, whether that’s in personal situations with friends or family, their physical or mental health, or stress from their workload.

On top of that, you’ll undoubtedly have students facing academic challenges, whether that’s understanding the material, difficult classroom experiences, or too much work with not enough time to get it done. 

When people are burned out, they tend to disengage. That's why so many students are dropping out of college. As an academic advisor, recognizing those signs of disengagement early and having ready-to-go plans in place are key to the role.
