Empowering progress across IU

At Indiana University, student success and institutional excellence are not just goals—they are guiding principles. The Office of the Vice President for Student Success, Enrollment and Institutional Effectiveness leads this charge across all of IU’s campuses by aligning strategic initiatives with the evolving needs of students, faculty, and the broader IU community. 

From streamlining enrollment pathways and enhancing academic advising to advancing innovative retention strategies and accreditation excellence, the office ensures that every student has the support and structure to thrive—throughout their time on campus.  Through cross-campus collaboration, data-informed planning, and a commitment to continuous improvement, the office drives initiatives that elevate the student experience and strengthen IU’s academic and operational impact across all its campuses.
