Why join the NCICU cohort?

North Carolina Independent College and Universities (NCICU) and Credo are pleased to announce a partnership to improve student outcomes across NCICU member institutions. This partnership will:  

• Build on the rich collaborative expertise of NCICU and the proven results of Credo’s Moving the Needle (MTN) project.  
• Bring small cohorts of North Carolina colleges and universities together to strengthen their capacity to support students from matriculation to graduation.  
• Identify each cohort institution’s challenges and opportunities regarding retention, uncovering the most promising areas for progress and implementing proven strategies for success.  
• Result in improved retention and graduation rates, a corresponding increase in institutional net revenue, and the strengthening of each school’s institutional culture and regional impact. 

Please join us for an information session to learn about MTN and the NCICU & Credo Student Success partnership to improve student outcomes at your institution.
