Momentum students realized significant savings. Over their time in college, they ended up paying 4—14 percent less per credit and 9—19 percent less per degree in tuition and fees. Colleges also benefit economically from encouraging students to take 15 credits. Though they may fear that holding students to higher expectations could drive them away, the study found colleges realized more tuition revenue from students with stronger momentum.
At the institute, state policy and institutional leaders from around the country will share information on 15 to Finish campaigns, highlight state- and campus-level policies that enable and encourage students to increase their credit accumulation, and help states chart a course for launching 15 to Finish campaigns. Time is the enemy of college completion, and 15 to Finish strategies are making great strides to tackle this challenge head on.
Currently, according to CCA, seven states and campuses nationwide have launched 15 to Finish initiatives. The study was funded by Lumina Foundation. That was, until I found CollegeXpress.

Not everyone benefits equally from this push. IUPUI has found the students who take at least 15 credits per semester tend to be wealthier, have fewer outside commitments, and are more academically prepared than those who take 12, and are more likely to be female and live on campus.
Some critics of the emphasis on speed also contend that college is a time when students should be able to find themselves, which may mean slowing down. This story was produced by The Hechinger Report , a nonprofit, independent news organization focused on inequality and innovation in education.
