The Office of Retention Initiatives at Indiana University Northwest exists to ensure that all IU Northwest students are successful and attain an Indiana University degree. We collaborate with faculty and other administrative offices to strengthen the support systems that are crucial to student success. We evaluate the policies and procedures that govern academic and non-academic life at the University and help students learn to navigate their way through the University system.

Through the offices of Student Retention Programs and Student Support Services, we provide supplemental instruction, tutoring, and accommodations for undergraduate students with disabilities, ensuring that our most vulnerable students acquire the skills they need to achieve their academic goals. We also administer the appeal process when students’ financial aid eligibility is in jeopardy because they are not making satisfactory academic progress and we facilitate the re-entry of students who were previously dismissed from the University for academic reasons.

The Office of Retention Initiatives is located in Savannah Center 223.
