Nurse education in practice. Background : Assessing the academic performance of students is imperative for nursing educators. Shulman, Pedagogies of Uncertainty This workgroup is a part of a larger campus project helping to build analytical tools, in the form of a data dashboard to identify predictors of success and struggle surrounding academic success, such as retention, engagement, and graduation.

The goal of the workgroup is to brainstorm solutions in the form of student-focused programs that will address some of the areas of academic struggle and success identified in the data. Likewise many academic programs target or end up serving students either in academic jeopardy or those that excel. This knowledge can be valuable when examining methods to improve retention of students, progression, minimizing repeat attempts at courses, and improving graduation rates.

In conclusion, the identification of these courses, related to student success, may provide valuable insight for other Exercise Science-related programs that are considering implementing a program admission policy. Keywords: admission; exercise science; gated program; science based; student success.
