What is Student Success?
Creating the conditions where students can learn a lot, thrive in college,
graduate in a timely manner, and enjoy the benefits of a college degree
throughout their lives.
Principle of Student Success
If students thrive in college, our university will prosper, public higher education will flourish, and our democracy will benefit. And if students do not learn a lot, thrive, graduate in a timely manner, etc.
Our institutions and our nation will suffer…
WSU Strategic PlanStudents are our top priority, and we provide them with the tools and experiences that they need to learn and succeed. Academic excellence, innovative pedagogies, collaborative and interdisciplinary research, career preparation, global experiences, and deep engagement in cultural diversity within a dynamic urban environment all create a “Distinctively Wayne State” student experience.

Wayne Experience course; Global Studies; Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion requirement in General Education;
Implement data-based alert systems that trigger advising interventions
“The GRID” spreadsheet; the Actionable Grid; AdvisingWorks; eventually STARS 2.0.
Goal #3: Increase Retention, Progress to Degree, and Graduation Rates for All StudentsStrategic Plan Objective Example ActivitiesAssess programs to determine their relevance to: (1) student success; (2) the “Distinctively Wayne State” experience; (3) 21st century workforce demands; (4) enhancing learning outcomes, retention, and graduation rates
Performed by each school and college.
Develop a “Student Success Pipeline” — an institutional monitoring practice that focuses on student retention and degree attainment, academic progress, milestone attainment, reasons for student attrition, and career placement. The Pipeline will permit monitoring by subgroups such as college, demographic subpopulations, and key educational groupings, including STEM
Intervention frameworks are the responsibility of each school and college. The Actionable Grid permits monitoring by subgroups to support intervention across campus. The AdvisingWorks tool supports campaigns to perform outreach to students identified by progress monitoring.
Eliminate achievement gaps for underrepresented students Achieved in VIP during pilot year; plan to scale.
Remove course-scheduling barriers, which impede expeditious degree attainment
Under the responsibility of each school and college.
Tailor financial aid options to maximize student retention and degree attainment
Many including WayneAccess, Completion Grants, Warrior Way Back, and Heart of Detroit.
