This symposium consists of four papers that will help us shed light on the questions posed by college dropout and what possible intervention measures can be adopted to intervene in this phenomenon. The first paper presents an explanatory model of dropout that emphasizes the importance of academic goals and social satisfaction for academic success. In the second paper, the influence of academic self-regulation on college dropout is addressed and a program applied in the classroom is presented. The third paper presents the 4Planning program, a mobile application to promote student retention. The last paper will address the issue of how to prevent academic dropout in the first year of studies by presenting an intervention experience with undergraduate students in the area of Education.
