The document discusses the Student Readiness Inventory (SRI), which measures students' psychological and social readiness for college. The SRI provides schools with students' scores in areas like academic discipline, commitment to college, and study skills. Students scoring in the lowest quintiles on particular scales had lower retention rates. Schools use SRI results to identify at-risk students for early intervention, like meetings to discuss strengths and ways to access campus resources. The SRI is considered an essential part of institutions' student retention efforts.
