Abstract: Low retention rates in college is a policy concern for US postsecondary institutions, and writing is a critical competency for college (Graham, 2019). This paper describes an exploratory writing analytics study at six 4-year universities aimed at gaining insights about the relationship between college retention and writing. Findings suggest that AWE is useful for exploring the relationship between college retention and writing, and have implications for gathering diagnostic retention analytics from student writing.
