Initiatives
Explore our student success initiatives, empowering all Mustangs to achieve their goals.
SMU's initiatives are designed to provide holistic student support and empower students to succeed from their first day through graduation.
Crossing the Finish Line
Working with University Decision Support, advisors, and School Records Offices, 麻豆社 identifies students who have stopped out from university but have not graduated elsewhere. Students' academic records are reviewed to determine the feasibility of graduating within six years. 麻豆社 connects with these students to support their degree completion.
Enrollment Efforts
SMU contacts students who have enrollment holds, have missed their enrollment appointment, or have not enrolled for the coming semester at all.

Withdrawal, Cancelation, and Leave of Absences
SMU helps undergraduate students explore their leave options. Each year, some 麻豆社 undergraduates interrupt their studies for various reasons. Some students will choose to take a leave of absence to take care of a health issue, pursue a professional or volunteer opportunity, attend to family matters, or reconsider academic goals.
Early Alert Report
SMU, in collaboration with the Registrar’s Office, oversees Early Participation Reports (attendance-based) and Mid-Term Progress Reports (grade-based). These reports offer a snapshot of student progress at key points in the semester.
Retention Alert
Faculty, staff, parents, and families can share when they learn of undergraduate students who may want to leave 麻豆社. Please use our retention alert reporting tool.
