Systemwide Attainment Framework (SAF) Reports
Our priorities are based on strategic research and university plans.
Turning Strategy into Action
EAB Systemwide Attainment Framework Report (2025)
This report provides an external, research-based foundation for improving student
recruitment, retention, and completion across the UA system. Drawing on national benchmarks,
case studies, and evidence-informed strategies, EAB outlines the structural and cultural
conditions that help universities raise attainment. The analysis directly informed
UA’s priority-setting and helped shape the Systemwide Attainment Framework and Students-First
Action Agenda.

Students-First Action Agenda (2025-30)
A systemwide commitment to make University of Alaska credentials more accessible and
effective for Alaskans. The Action Agenda outlines five priority areas (Access, Affordability,
Belonging, Completion, and Transparency) along with project milestones, shared initiatives,
and campus-system partnerships designed to move student outcomes forward.

Strategic Enrollment Plans (UAA, UAF, UAS)
Each university has developed a campus-level plan aligned with SAF priorities. These
plans identify mission-driven opportunities to grow enrollment, strengthen student
pathways, expand workforce programs, and improve persistence. Together, they form
a coordinated roadmap for how each MAU contributes to systemwide student success goals.

Measuring What Matters
Data Dashboards
The SAF dashboards track progress toward UA’s goals for student recruitment, retention,
and graduation. These data show how each university, and the UA System as a whole,
is advancing access, affordability, and completion across Alaska.

Metrics and Targets Adopted by the Board of Regents
In 2025, the Board adopted a set of shared outcome measures and FY30 targets for recruitment,
retention, and graduation. These metrics establish clear expectations for progress,
enable consistent reporting across campuses, and anchor the systemwide dashboards
and quarterly updates.
