Hi all,

I wanted to share an e-mail we received today from Dr. Goodburn about some of the success benchmarking that is happening at the university level. As you will see, campus is seeing some historic highs when it comes to credit hours attempted, course withdrawals, student places on academic warning and dismissal. I fully believe there is a strong correlation between the support we provide students across our campus, and specifically in the college, and the outcomes that are being measured. Thanks for all the work you do to support student success. I encourage you all to look at the data below so you can see how our campus leadership is measuring student academic performance.

 

Have a great afternoon all.

Subject: Continued Improvements in Undergraduates' Academic Performance!

 

Dear Colleagues, 

I write to share good news regarding the continued academic success of our undergraduates based on their spring 2025 performance metrics (shout out to Paul Breitkreutz in OUR for providing this data!). 

 

Thanks to efforts by faculty, academic advisors, success coaches, academic navigators, and program coordinators to prioritize degree planning and proactive and tailored outreach, UNL students' attempted and earned credit hours continued to rise! This spring our students reached a historical high of 14.111 average attempted hours and earned 13.197 credit hours.  This data suggests that more of our students are "on-track" for four-year degree completion (which over 90% of last year's first-year students identified as a goal in their NSE inventory).  

 

And with the exception of the spring 2020 Covid-impacted semester, the percentage of students' course withdrawals, the percentage of students placed on academic warning, and the percentage of those who were academically dismissed were also all at historical lows in spring 2025.  All in all, our students are rocking it. Thanks for your leadership in prioritizing the importance of planning and academic engagement with your team members. 

 

Hope New Student Enrollment is going well for you and that you have an opportunity to take a breather before classes begin again in two months!

Best wishes,

Amy 

 

 

The percentage of students placed on academic warning and who were academically dismissed is also at a historical low!
