Central Carolina Community College increases student engagement with Upswing

Central Carolina Community College needed a partner that could not only provide 24/7 tutoring, but also help increase student usage. With 3 campuses and over 6,000 students, they needed a supportive, yet cost-effective partner that would help them make tutoring accessible for more students. Through collaborative marketing and seamless integrations, Central Carolina Community College saw a 600% increase in just 1 semester compared to their student usage from their previous tutoring provider.

Community college students encounter unique challenges, including the difficulty of juggling college alongside work or family commitments. Upswing offers flexibility that enables community college students to access support services while effectively managing their work, school, and personal life.

We’ve partnered with 58 two-year institutions and given more than 1.3 million community college students access to the platform, preventing more than 24K students from dropping out. Hear more how Richmond Community College utilizes Upswing to improve equitable access.

“We have been able to expand services to times of the day when the college isn't open but students are in search of academic support. Upswing is especially useful for adult learners who typically balance college on top of already busy lives as parents and employees.”
