In this preliminary research brief, the College Completion Network's University of Virginia research team at the Nudge⁴ Solutions Lab shares initial results from their Nudges to the Finish Line study, which is examining whether mobile messaging nudges can increase degree attainment among near-completers.

From the brief: "We developed Nudges to the Finish Line (N2FL), an interactive mobile messaging campaign, to increase completion among students who have earned substantial credits but remain at risk of dropout. In this research brief, we present preliminary impacts of N2FL on re-enrollment in the term following the intervention and impacts on credits completed and graduation within two terms of beginning the intervention, at 19 institutions that launched N2FL prior to Fall 2018."
