Retention is a campus wide effort at Oakwood University. Therefore, the University is committed to improving the quality of student life and learning. With retention as a responsibility, each department facilitates campus initiatives geared toward improving retention/graduation rates. The Retention Committee establishes, reviews, and/or implements strategies to improve student completion rates of academic programs. It also works to improve student learning, satisfaction, and successful achievement of educational goals. Finally, the committee assesses the implementation, progress, and effectiveness of these plans across the campus.
The Vice President charged with retention, the Dean of Student Success, the Retention Coordinator are the contacts for any efforts regarding retention. However, all faculty and staff make it their responsibility to retain students as a campus wide effort.
