Noodle for Retention & Placement
Support and Placement That Keep Students Moving to Graduation
Improve persistence and completion with a care team that reaches every student and a placement team that secures every site, backed by predictive technology and accreditation-ready reporting.
Who We Serve
Our retention support works across your student body. For practicum-based fields like education, nursing, and social work, we add comprehensive placement management—matching students with sites from local schools to hospitals. To reach graduation, students need ongoing support and a secured placement; Noodle provides both.
From Early Signal to Follow-Through
Early alert systems flag students who need support, and placement software logs matches and status. In a practicum-based program, progress toward graduation can stall in two ways: a student goes quiet, or a site commitment falls through. Our care and placement teams contact the student and develop the site directly.

Built Around Where Your Institution Is
Whether you rely on internal CRM and SIS tools or seek external infrastructure, Noodle integrates directly with your existing technology stack. Powered by predictive technology, our platform seamlessly monitors both student retention concerns and milestones. Fully embedded Assistants handle routine inquiries around the clock and initiate proactive outreach the moment support is needed.
Technology to Transform
Noodle Dialogue
Classroom time rarely leaves room to rehearse the hardest conversations a placement will require—client interviews, mandated reporting, crisis intervention—before your student is in the room for real. Noodle Dialogue is an LMS-embedded platform where your students practice those scenarios and get personalized feedback. Faculty retain full control over the scenarios and rubrics, with access to Noodle’s pre-built template library to ensure a quick and seamless setup.
- Extends what your program already teaches, giving your students more repetitions before they enter placement
- Provides additional opportunities for skill rehearsal prior to field work, bridging gaps when instructional hours and faculty bandwidth are constrained
Noodle Manage for Retention
Noodle Manage for Retention is a standalone platform that surfaces which of your students need attention now, whether they’re at risk or gaining momentum worth reinforcing. A built-in Assistant handles routine questions directly and escalates to your staff when a situation calls for a person.
- The Assistant answers routine questions directly across channels, without waiting on staff availability, and can call or text a student itself.
- For outreach your staff handle personally, the system recommends the best channel and drafts the message, with staff reviewing and adjusting before anything is sent.
- The platform shows whether a flagged student was contacted and what happened after, closing the visibility gap between your systems.
Support for Advisors, Field Directors & Practicum Coordinators
Your advisors, field directors, and practicum coordinators often run outreach, credentialing, and student matching as one job, alongside teaching and advising. Noodle takes that work off their plate, so more of their time goes back to students directly.
