Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the effectiveness of an educational institution. Means are provided for establishing a relationship between educational institution and a student wherein the student's progress is monitored from registration through and beyond graduation. Monitoring means allow the student's progress to be measured and the student's need for support and attention to be determined. Additional means permit an administrator of an educational institution to measure the effectiveness of an educational institution's program and to determine prospectively the resources needed to meet student commitments.
