Build a Financially Sustainable Institution


When it comes to student success, leaders must shift away from a spending mindset (What’s the cost?) to an investment mindset (What’s the return on investment in this program?).

This shift in thinking allows leaders like you to better understand the real impact of student success practices on student outcomes. Insight into what works and for whom enables you to reallocate limited resources to the combination of practices that will most significantly improve student success – leading to more efficient use of resources and more effective initiatives.

Civitas Learning partners unlock meaningful data with ease to know where to invest their resources. This approach allows our partners to collaborate across academics, enrollment, and student services with a single source of truth to create more effective strategies. We’re proud to showcase the work our partners are doing to make every student interaction count, drive institutional success, and shape the future of higher education.
