Many of these students are considered “stopouts,” meaning they earned some college credit and then withdrew from college for a time with the intention of eventually returning.1 Stopped-out students earn less and are more likely to be unemployed than students who obtain a postsecondary degree.2 The Re-Enrollment and Completion Team (REACT) intervention is an evidence-based approach designed to help stopped-out students return to college and eventually complete their degrees. Initial findings from an evaluation of REACT indicate that it could meaningfully help stopped-out students return to college. Across four colleges and a sample of nearly 3,000 students, students who received the REACT intervention were nearly twice as likely to reenroll.  \nAbout REACT  \nREACT targets students who are within 15 credits of earning an associate’s degree but are not currently enrolled in college, aiming to help them reenroll and complete an associate’s degree. REACT provides outreach, services, and incentives to students for up to five semesters (including summers) and has three primary components:  \nJulie Rubin (MDRC)  \nColleen Sommo (MDRC)  \nJustin Ortagus (University of Texas)  \nContributors: Sarah Magnelia Austin Slaughter Kayla Warner Janey Woo  \nREACT REENROLLS NEARLY TWICE AS MANY STUDENTS WHO HAVE STOPPED ATTENDING COLLEGE  \n2  \n• MULTIMODAL COMMUNICATIONS: Text messages, emails, phone calls, and postcard mailers inform stopped-out students about REACT and encourage them to reenroll.  \n• DEDICATED REACT ADVISING: After reengaging, students are connected with a dedicated REACT adviser who helps them with the reenrollment process and designing a plan to complete their degree. Once students reenroll, their REACT advisers continue reaching out to them, sending reminders and resources, and students are encouraged to meet with their advisers at least once per semester.  \n• TUITION AND FEE WAIVERS: These waivers cover the cost of up to 15 credit hours (approximately five courses), which should be enough for students to complete their degrees.3  \nAbout the Evaluation  \nThe research team is conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate REACT’s impact on reenrollment and degree completion at four community colleges in Florida: Florida SouthWestern State College, Northwest Florida State College, Hillsborough College, and Palm Beach State College. These colleges are in rural, suburban, and urban areas and range in size from about 5,000 to 25,000 students.  \nBefore random assignment, the research team collaborated with each of the colleges to design the REACT program and prepare for the evaluation and program implementation. This collaboration included exploring the data infrastructure necessary to identify eligible students, designing outreach messages using principles from behavioral science, and outlining REACT adviser responsibilities and identifying a clear program staffing plan. MDRC also provided technical assistance to colleges throughout the program’s implementation.  \nThe research team worked with the colleges to randomly assign 4,268 total students into the study across two incoming groups of students (or cohorts), the first of whom entered college in Spring/ Summer 2025 and the second of whom entered in Fall 2025. Approximately 40 percent of the students were randomly assigned to receive the REACT intervention (the program group) and the remaining students were randomly assigned not to receive it (the control group) . The findings in this brief focus on the first cohort of 2,855 students and the initial outcome of reenrollment.  \nStudents in the sample fit the following eligibility criteria:  \n• Stopped attending college within the past two years  \n• Were seeking an associate’s degree when last enrolled  \n• Were within 15 credits of graduati","cbCaijd0fxtGIKGA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijd0fxtGIKGA","pdf",1410805,"English","# About REACT\n## REACT components\n# About the Evaluation\n## Study design and cohorts\n## Eligibility criteria\n# REACT Nearly Doubles Reenrollment Rates\n## Impact on reenrollment","[{\"question\":\"What was REACT’s measured impact on reenrollment?\",\"answer\":\"In Summer/Fall 2025, 20.7% of the REACT program group reenrolled compared with 11.2% of the control group.
