The early alert initiative is a collaborative effort across campus. There are particularly strong established connections among Advising Programs, Academic Schools, Residence Life, and Athletics that aim to identify and support students who might be experiencing challenges that could impact their academic success. This effort includes proactive monitoring, timely interventions, and personalized support early in the semester to enhance student success and retention.

On June 1, 2025, Georgia Tech launched Navigate360, a new digital platform designed to support academic advising, streamline student success efforts, and strengthen collaboration across campus.

This initiative centers on training advisors to help students create fuller schedules (15 or more hours) and complete essential skills mathematics and writing requirements within 30 hours, aided by the use of scheduling tools and success markers in Navigate.

The Mindset Student Workshops series, known internally as the “Boost” Mindset project, is entering its fourth year as an institution-wide initiative designed to enhance student motivation, metacognition, and academic self-efficacy. Originating from a Chancellor’s Learning Scholar Faculty Learning Community on Mindset in 2018 and supported by the USG STEM Grant Initiative, this work has evolved from a pilot project into a sustained element of SGSC’s student success strategy.

UGA students are very well prepared. Ninety-one percent of the admitted Class of 2029 posted an average core high school GPA of 4.0 or higher, with 98% having completed at least one advanced course (such as AP, IB, or Dual Enrollment). Often such high-achieving students have never experienced any kind of failure. But the demanding pace of a research institution like UGA often poses significant and unexpected challenges for our students.

Experiential Learning at the University of Georgia empowers every student to apply their learning in real-world contexts, equipping them with the competencies and expanded perspectives to thrive in the emerging, dynamic global society.  

UNG is actively monitoring enrollment trends in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, specifically tracking the number of students admitted and the number of graduates each term. In response to increasing demand and in support of student success and program growth, the Nursing Department has submitted internal proposals to revise its admissions process.

Based on NISS recommendations, the institution is standardizing advising systems, protocols, training, and practices for professional and faculty advisors to ensure students receive a consistent standard of advising care across all advising units, academic departments, colleges, and campuses. 

Pathway+ focuses on Learning Support students instead of all Associate students, placing them in learning communities, a new required FYE course (UNG 1101), and revising pedagogy for LS courses. Modifications to this intervention are based on positive impact on LS students in the pilot, logistic challenges in taking it to scale for all Associate, the increased number of students required to take math LS, and NISS recommendations that we align support services to support students in high DWF courses
