Abstract
Retention and success in the rst year of university are global concerns, particularly for students from equity groups and first-generation university students. The 2023 Australian Universities Accord acknowledges the challenges these students face in completing university studies and the role of Enabling programs in equipping non-traditional learners to navigate university successfully. This paper reports on the challenges encountered in obtaining Enabling program performance data from three Institutions, why this data is important to obtain, and what the implications of this may be for our sector. The Enabling program performance data obtained from two universities reveals that the Enabling students attain higher or comparable progress rates and grade point averages to their peers in their first year of undergraduate studies. The data underscores the effectiveness of Enabling programs in preparing students for university success and contributing to government goals of increasing the number of graduates from equity groups
