University of North Georgia
Observations and Next Steps
UNG continues to monitor progress towards Complete College Georgia goals and its ASPIRE metrics. The refinements to the institution’s student success efforts appear to be moving the needle positively based on data. The institution continues to monitor and refine its strategies serve students and reach a simple goal: to become a university unlike any other, serving the state of Georgia and the United States to produce dynamic, innovative, legacy-making graduates.
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.
The institution is scaling the number of courses with embedded HiPs and systematically capturing those in the SIS.
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
Pursuant to NISS recommendations, UNG launched a 1CH FYE course with a pilot group in fall 2025. The pilot group includes all associate degree-seeking students, bachelor’s degree-seeking students in Education programs, and all students with co-requisite learning requirements. Enrollment in UNG 1101 for fall 2025 is ~1600 students
