At ReUp, we partner with universities to re-enroll students who have dropped-out and support them throughout their return school, ensuring successful student outcomes. Over the past two years we've helped "re-up" over 4,000 students and recapture over $16 million in tuition for our partner universities using a proprietary combination of data, technology, and people-centered service design. Each year, millions of students drop-out of college or university – some 37 million Americans in the last two decades. The reasons students drop out are multi-dimensional, with the primary barriers to completion being financial, work, family obligations, health-related issues, and motivation. Many of these “Forgotten Students” leave college with mountains of debt (over $27 billion annually) and without the earning power of a diploma. The social, economic, and human potential loss is enormous. While this completion crisis is alarming, ReUp has the solution. We are proud to work with some of the most diverse universities and colleges in the country - tackling this problem student by student.

By enabling families to participate in their children’s schooling, our platform generates a powerful learning loop that connects all essential parties, creating an environment where every student can thrive. Seesaw also provides a multimodal suite of tools so children can show what they know in ways that work best for them, capturing it all in a digital portfolio they can reflect on and share.
