Some College, No Credential Re-Enrollment

Supporting institutional strategies to reconnect and graduate stopped-out students.

Today, more than 43 million individuals have some college experience but no credential.

Trellis Strategies partners with institutions to identify, reconnect, and support these learners on a path back to enrollment and completion. Re-engaging this population strengthens enrollment pipelines, supports workforce alignment, and unlocks human capital already earned.

How We Support Re-Enrollment

College and Student Support 

  • Assist colleges in identifying students to contact
  • Guide students by phone or text through next steps to re-enroll 
  • Provide an optional inbound number for students seeking additional information
  • Transfer enrollment-ready students directly to a designated campus office 
  • Help students identify programs aligned to earned credits 
  • Provide reporting on enrollment-ready students so institutions can advise, register, and support learners through completion 
  • Regional option – When institutions collaborate, Trellis can support learners in identifying the best-fit institution and program across a region.
