Student Retention
Notice Program
Windsor University will continuously and closely monitor students’ attendance throughout each course and the academic program as a whole. The University will also remind the absentees about the minimum attendance requirements they should meet to pass.
If students were at risk of failing the course or the academic program, or both, an e-mail would be sent to them one day before each webinar as a further reminder. Moreover, the corresponding instructor will be asked to follow up with their students should they be at risk of being omitted from the course.
Lastly, suppose the student’s attendance is lacking throughout the academic program or a course. In that case, students will be transferred to their corresponding qualified personnel or technical assistants, whichever they may need.
Currently, student records are automatically handled using Moodle. It’s integrated into the Learning Management System (LMS).
Motivational Examples
Instructors will present students with video recordings from alumni. Alumni may give comments about certain aspects of the program. Also, they may state their opinion about a specific instructor. Lastly, they may describe how the program improves their careers and how they profit from their knowledge.
Regular Assessment and Coursework
Students will attend frequent examinations and conduct regular assignments for each course, graded and incorporated into their final marks. This procedure will ensure that the students are not falling behind. It is worth mentioning that these exams and assignments will be controlled so as not to be overwhelmed.
Orientation
An orientation session will be held for the new students before every course. The instructor will state details about their course, such as its learning outcomes, outline, the grading system, webinars schedule, etc… Also, students will be presented with statistics collected from previous students that include: completion rate for the course, average mark for the course, highest and lowest mark for the course, etc.
Limited Number of Students per session
Students will be divided into small groups. These groups will attend webinars and online lectures separately, thus ensuring a clear communication line between the instructor and the students and among the students themselves. Also, there will always be instant feedback among the participants.
Peer Tutoring
An instructor might ask alumni if they are willing to provide any assistance. This support can be in the form of an online lecture, notes taken or found by them, or a learning source they used or are still using.
Thesis Checkpoints
Students will be referred to an instructor who will supervise their thesis writing during their Capstone course. Supervisors will assign checkpoints that their attendees should reach. These deadlines will be used to segment their thesis. Each part will be graded separately, hence ensuring that the students are not lagging or overwhelmed.
Job Placement
Each student will be registered automatically under our Alumni Department once they graduate. In addition, the Alumni Department will have updated Alumni records that include their employment location, salary estimate, and their progress throughout their careers. These records shall be confirmed by contacting the corresponding student’s employer and asked to review our graduate and our curriculum as a whole.

Internship Requiring

These internships are not for academic credit but are supported by the University’s faculty mentorship and career development resources.
All degree programs at Windsor University—particularly the MBA—are designed to be academically rigorous and experientially integrated, featuring practicum-based coursework. Through structured assignments such as case studies, applied projects, and real-world simulations, students apply theoretical knowledge in professional contexts under the direct supervision and evaluation of qualified faculty.
