Upswing improves annual retention by an average of 1.849 percentage points

We work closely with our partners to identify the best possible solutions that integrate campus resources and Upswing resources to provide comprehensive, accessible support.

What does 1.849 percentage points mean? These results mean that more students successfully transfer to a 4-year school, more students achieve their goals of being the first in their family to graduate college, more students get the degrees needed to transition into a new career, and more students earn salaries and give back to your local community.
