Degrees When Due (DWD) was an initiative launched in 2018 by the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) to help more than 200 participating institutions across more than 20 states improve their student completion rates by sharing data-driven strategies such as degree auditing, adult re-engagement, and reverse transfer.
Through DWD, higher education institutions work to ensure that students of color, low-income students, working students, student parents, and many others are re-engaged to cross the degree finish line. Institutions work to improve the technical work of data mining and degree auditing as they rethink their campus culture, close equity gaps, and change policies to address barriers that cause adult learners to drop out.
In May 2022, IHEP published a report detailing the results of DWD: Lighting the Path to Remove Systemic Barriers in Higher Education and Award Earned Postsecondary Credentials Through IHEP's Degrees When Due Initiative.
