Student success is a complex concept, involving academic achievement and the transition to employment, entrepreneurship, or further education. It also includes a deepening understanding and engagement with the discipline or subject, alongside the acquisition and enhancement of skills and personal growth.
This framework brings together the nine individual Essential Frameworks for Enhancing Student Success. Collectively, these frameworks offer a comprehensive overview of the core thematic areas, which are most effective when adopted by an entire institution.
The overarching framework is especially relevant for those working across various departments, services, and institutions. Its application can extend across all functions that contribute to student success within higher education, including academic, research, strategy and planning, student services, registry, student unions, human resources, and marketing and communications.
Would you like our support to make the frameworks work for you?
As regulators across the globe place a greater emphasis on student outcomes and disruptors continue to change higher education at pace, we're here to support you navigate these and set you up for success.
Whether through supporting strategy development, reviewing curricula or developing your staff, the frameworks provide a valuable tool to enhance student success, and institutional reputation and ultimately, work towards financial sustainability.
