Students usually leave after frustration has been building for a while.
Maybe a financial aid question goes unanswered or a registration issue is unclear. Or maybe a student starts doubting whether they belong and the support they need is only available during office hours.
A generic agent that sends students back to the registrar’s office is not enough. The AI Agent has to understand the request, check the right campus system, apply the approved rules and route the case to a human advisor when judgment is needed.
Student support becomes part of retention by helping students complete the next step before small inconvenience turns into a bigger risk.
