Pillar #2 – Student Success and Inclusive Excellence
Commitment
As a community, SIUE is committed to embodying a “student-ready” campus, focused on closing equity gaps, and ensuring that our students achieve their educational goals as they become change agents for a better future.
Proposed Goals
SIUE will be a national leader among peers. The University will fulfill its promise to support student success at all levels by reaching 90% retention, a four-year graduation rate of 45% and a six-year graduation rate of 75%, while ensuring that equity gaps are closed. Additionally, SIUE will achieve Carnegie Classification for Social and Economic Mobility.

- Reduce DFW rates in critical courses with course design transformations, learning support and student engagement.
- Execute critical elements of the Anti-Racism Task Force recommendations.
- Maintain or achieve accreditation as well as national and global recognition for quality academic programming.
