Why Summer Melt Threatens Enrollment Goals

Summer melt costs institutions millions in lost tuition when accepted students fail to enroll. This critical gap between acceptance and attendance occurs when students lose momentum during the summer months. Havana's AI maintains continuous engagement with admitted students, answering their questions instantly and identifying at-risk individuals before they drop out. Our system works around the clock to protect your fall enrollment numbers.
